In his preface poet David Henderson refers to Gayton as not just a California poet, but a La Jolla poet. We would prefer to think of Gayton as a West Coast poet, reflecting not just SoCal, but his upbringing in Seattle, where he's the progeny of an illustrious pioneer family. A lawyer, Gayton studied at the University of Washington; his literary direction was influenced by Nelson Bentley.
