Hide Profile

Charles Van Wyck Brooks was the son of American writer Van Wyck and Eleanor Stimson Brooks, born in California in 1912. After attending Williston Academy in Massachusetts, he attended Harvard University. Charles spent his post-college years traveling, engaging in literary work for the Federal Writers Project and translating the private journals of Henri Frederic Amiel (published 1935). In 1936, he married young modernist painter Inez Helena Seibert, and the two lived in France for several years (1937-1939). On returning to the United States, they moved to California, where they had a son, Peter (b. 1940). Charles tried, unsuccessfully, to publish a novel, The Fishing Party (1941-1942), and then turned to carpentry. After a divorce in 1949, he returned east to Connecticut and New York City, where he met Charlotte Selver, his second wife, with whom he was to run workshops in Sensory Awareness. He died in 1991.
