Hi guys,
I’m going to be in LA this weekend for 48 hours. Let me know if there are any art shows I should see while I’m there. I’ll be hosting a writing club and have a few spots left. Message me if you want to come!
This live recorded poetry album featuring Gregory Corso, Peter Orlovsky and Allen Ginsberg is responsible for shaping what I thought a poetry reading should be. You can tell they’re having FUN. They’re making each other laugh. It’s still all I want from poetry readings. Mine and others. I always thought poetry readings should be fun. People should be laughing and talking over each other and having a good time. I haven’t listened to it in awhile and put it on today. Still great. Still fun.
Leave some other poetry albums recs in the comments that me/we should all listen to.
