In
Tom Bleecker's biography,
Unsettled Matters: The Life
and Death of Bruce Lee, Amy
Sanbo, Bruce Lee's first
girlfriend in America,
recalls Lee's unflappable
confidence and charm when he
met Pulitzer-Prize-winning
poet Theodore Roethke in a
classroom at the University
of Washington.
Bruce
and I were sitting alone
studying in Roethke's
classroom at the University.
Now you have to understand
that Theodore Roethke was
the only instructor in the
English department who
actually had his own
classroom. And so in walks
Roethke - a man so huge that
he often described himself
as a bear in his poems - and
he sais, "I'm Roethke,
the poet! You're in my room!"
I was in total shock and I
thought, "Roethke, my
god!" And I was enough
of a student to back off and
think, "Okay, I'll bow
down. I'll keep quiet."
But Bruce didn't flinch at
all. He stood up and walked
right up to Roethke and
stuck out his hand and said,
"I'm Bruce Sifu (teacher)
Lee, "with the emphasis
on Sifu, "Kung-fu
master." My god, I was
ready to crawl under the
door, and I was hoping that
Roethke hadn't caught a good
glimpse of me. I guess I was
in a daze for a while, and
then the next ting I
remember is looking up and
seeing Bruce standing at the
blackboard with chalk in his
hand, lecturing to Roethke
who is sitting in a front
row chair! And Bruce
explaining to this Pulitzer
Prize winning poet the
essentials of kung-fu and
he's drawing Chinese
characters all over
Roethke's blackboard. And so
for the next half hour I
stood there absolutley
fascinated watching Bruce
Lee captivate, if not
mesmerize, Theodore Roethke
and thinking, "Oh my
god, this is totally and
completely bizzare!".
