To Allen Ginsberg<\/p>\n\n\n\n
San Francisco<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sept. 1956<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Read Howl<\/em> and said “Allen is Allen still and better.” America<\/em> cry was embar-<\/p>\n\n\n\n rassing, but so was Novalis and Wackenroder. And Kliest had the Amazon<\/p>\n\n\n\n eat her lover raw right on stage and he, Kliest, double-suicided with Eva<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u00a0Schmidt. The German poets are the end. Read Howl <\/em>and thought why ? when<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rimbaud put us all down by 19ing himself. Read Howl<\/em> and said why ? when <\/p>\n\n\n\n Chatterton rat-poisoned us by 17ing himself. You are old. I am old. Our cries<\/p>\n\n\n\n sound more like cracked wheezes than GRRRRRRRRRRRRRS. And LOVE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We are too old to say what love is. Easily enough we can call it Zen Polemic<\/p>\n\n\n\n Boycock. I send you the first installment of Way Out<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Met Orlovsky, LaVigne, Donlin others. Don’t like San Francisco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Reminds me of hip mid-western town. Besides, don’t see much of it. Stay at<\/p>\n\n\n\n home all the time. Met McClure. He says he wants to have a nice hone with<\/p>\n\n\n\n family and only write six poems a year. I don’t think he has it. Read some of<\/p>\n\n\n\n his things. He’s produce for New Yorker<\/em> magazine. Read Howl <\/em>and liked it<\/p>\n\n\n\n because it’s almost like my Way Out<\/em>. Two old men who cupped their farts in an<\/p>\n\n\n\n organ. E. Power Briggs plays Bach’s Toccata in Fugue. If you don’t write and<\/p>\n\n\n\n live a great poem before your 30th year, give up. I told that to MacLeish, and<\/p>\n\n\n\n he sent me away from Cambridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Goodbye, Gregory Corso<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" To Allen Ginsberg San Francisco Sept. 1956 Read Howl and said “Allen is Allen still and better.” America cry was embar- rassing, but so was Novalis and Wackenroder.
