He comes from a wealthy Jewish family of Lithuanian ancestry and rabbinical traditions. A graduate of McGill University Faculty of Humanities, in his hometown, where he also made his debut as a poet. Forming outside the contemporary currents of American poetry, but alluded to the tradition of Beatniks, reciting poems to the accompaniment of a jazz band. Looking for inspiration mainly in Mediterranean culture, he went to Greece, where he spent several years on the island of Hydra. There he created his most famous works, including novel "Beautiful Losers" (Beautiful Losers) and the classic song "Bird on the wire" (Bird on a Wire). Often changed his place of residence: London, New York, Hydra, Nashville, Bombay, Los Angeles. "I am a hotel" - tells about himself after all these years.
