Claire-
Harry Kemp (1883-1960) was known as the "Tramp Poet" and "The Poet of the Dunes" when he was a summer resident in Provincetown, Massachusetts. He had been a deep-water sailor for years, before settling ashore in Greenwich Village. He certainly led a very interesting life and is only now being rediscovered by folk music performers.
