Charles Potts is an American counter-culture poet, sometimes referred to as a projectivist. He was mentored by Edward Dorn. Raised in rural Idaho, in the mid 60s Potts set out for Seattle, Mexico, and ultimately the counter cultural hotbed of Berkeley, California. There, he founded the Litmus mag and publishing company, which published his friend Charles Bukowski's book “Poems written before jumping out of an 8 story window". Potts' gives an account of his time as a revolutionary hippie in the Berkeley poetry scene, and a psychotic breakdown he suffered there, in his two-part memoir Valga Krusa, reprinted by Green Panda Press in 2007. In the 80s Potts moved to Walla Walla, Washington where he later founded The Temple bookstore, Tsunami publishing, and The Temple Literary Magazine. Potts' collected works, letters, and publishing materials were housed in the archives of Utah State University's Merrill-Cazier Library in Logan, Utah in 2011.
