Rakosi, Carl
▪ 2005
Callman Rawley 
      American poet and psychotherapist (b. Nov. 6, 1903, Berlin, Ger.—d. June 24, 2004, San Francisco, Calif.), with George Oppen, Louis Zukovsky, and Charles Reznikoff formed a poetic movement known as Objectivism. (The movement placed emphasis on viewing poems as objects that could be considered and analyzed in terms of mechanical features.) Rakosi changed his name to Callman Rawley in 1926, keeping his original name as his pen name. After 1939 he became a social worker and psychotherapist, and, though he wrote much in his field, he ceased writing poetry. In 1967, a year before his retirement, he was lured back to poetry, however, and before his death he published eight highly acclaimed volumes, the last, The Old Poet's Tale, in 1999.
