Biography
James Broughton was born in Modesto in 1913 and taught film and ritual at San Francisco State University and the San Francisco Art Institute. In the late 1960s, his irreverent and sexually liberating works won him a large following, especially in the Bay Area. Alan Watts crowned him the "unofficial poet laureate of San Francisco." Broughton married Joel Singer in 1976 and they collaborated on many films and books of poetry until Broughton's death in 1999.
