Follow up to the last toot: Catherine Graindorge has a new album out this year, largely inspired by Allen Ginsberg's poem "A Dream Record" about Joan Vollmer, who was killed by her husband William Burroughs. This is absolute AOTY material, it's positively stunning.

"O beautiful Garbo of my Karma."
Happy birthday #AllenGinsberg, and thank you for writing what I think is one one of the most beautiful poetic phrases.
Now, after having read "Kaddish," I am onto (literally and reading-wise) a Supermarket in California.
Happy Birthday #AllenGinsberg. I will go to a Supermarket in California (L.A., though, not Berkeley) and also say/read Kaddish. Thank you for these two (and more) magnificent poems.

April is #NationalPoetryMonth. I love many poems but "Kaddish" by #AllenGinsberg is one of my very favorites. So many incredible lines, like this one: "There, rest. No more suffering for you. I know where you’ve gone, it’s good."
What #poem do you love?

Shame on me for waiting this long to read such an amazing book, which I pretty much inhaled in a day. It's just SO good. One of my favorite parts is her account of meeting #AllenGinsberg at the #HornAndHardart in #NYC.
@GottaLaff. This is a really lovely article (as in mood changer?) if you like #LouReed, #LaurieAnderson, and #AllenGinsberg, who makes an appearance! https://www.vanityfair.com/style/laurie-anderson-lou-reed-legacy?utm_source=nl&utm_brand=vf&utm_mailing=VF_CH_011224&utm_medium=email&bxid=5bd670d32ddf9c619438e21c&cndid=25765938&hasha=0e51957bf62ce3d30528ee897612f039&hashb=1017caafe47ce682d99ab51ab294967fa382865f&hashc=d17405ad921d7b340b79921e9e6dd816674163415681253adcd2974db966d18f&esrc=OIDC_SELECT_ACCOUNT_PAGE&mbid=mbid%3DCRMVYF012019&source=EDT_VYF_NEWSLETTER_0_COCKTAIL_HOUR_ZZ&utm_campaign=VF_CH_011224&utm_term=VYF_Cocktail_Hour
Wonderful interview with #LaurieAnderson. Love the #AllenGinsberg anecdote (among others).

One of my projects these days has been to digitize my old Super 8 films from long ago and far away. Here's one I shot in California of Allen Ginsberg and his partner Peter Orlovsky. I had forgotten that Lawrence Ferlinghetti was even there that day until I saw this.
Unfortunately, there is no sound.
Hopefully this link takes you right there.

#PattiSmith is like a prophet on stage. All righteous fury and love. Here she is giving a fiery reading of #AllenGinsberg’s Footnote To Howl at the Homecoming Festival in #Cincinnati last night.

3 things about Errol Morris’s THE B-SIDE: ELSA DORFMAN’S PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY [2016]
1. Poets dropping by the office regularly to use the free copier.
2. Borrowing a shopping cart for extended periods of time to display her wares.
3. A final answering machine message from Allen Ginsberg.

“The weight of the world is love.
Under the burden of solitude,
under the burden of dissatisfaction
the weight,the weight we carry is love. ”

Happy Birthday #WaltWhitman from #AllenGinsberg! "What thoughts I have of you tonight, Walt Whitman, for I walked down the sidestreets under the trees with a headache self-conscious looking at the full moon." From #Ginsberg's "A Supermarket in California," written in #Berkeley, 1955. #litstudies
From that time I met Allen Ginsberg. He was speaking at the Miami Book Fair so I approached him to say hi and get my books autographed. He was very friendly and chatty. I regret not having my camera that night.
When signing his autograph he always added the word “AH” as in Ahhhhh.
