A note about the work “So Like a Waking” from Peter E. Murphy for the Michigan Quarterly Review's Summer 2024 issue: 1. Eight years and almost fifty drafts, writing "So Like a Waking" was a pain in the ass. 2. I couldn't . . . wouldn't accept that I was an alcoholic. Bums shitting themselves on a park bench or in the gutter, they were alcoholics, not me. Sure, I woke up on a park bench . . . I woke up in a gutter, but I only peed myself. 3. Drinking was the only thing that made sense to me. Make that poetry and drinking. I loved them both equally. However, drinking was trying to kill me. Poetry was trying to keep me alive. 4. At a writing retreat I led in Spain several years ago, a woman who had just lost her mother said, “I'm sorry. She's all I can write about.” “Don't apologize,” I said. “My mother died sixty years ago, and she's all I can write about.” 5. I think of my high school years as Early-Derelict Period. I trudged from bookstore to bookstore in Greenwich Village, brown-bagging a quart of Ballantine Ale, searching for Ginsberg's Howl one week, Ferlinghetti's A Coney Island of the Mind the next. Then I graduated to Mid-Derelict Period. Then Late-Derelict Period when I hit the proverbial rock bottom in a flophouse in Wales. 6. “Hi! My name is Peter, and I'm . . . um . . . well . . . you know . . . .”

Marco Pesatori"Astrologia per intellettuali"Mimesis Edizioniwww.mimesisedizioni.itDa Marilyn a Kafka, da Marx a Bowie: i segni zodiacali attraverso la vita di artisti, scrittori e filosofiLe vite di grandi scrittori, filosofi, musicisti, poeti hanno da raccontarci moltissimo sulla personalità e il modo d'essere dei dodici segni dello Zodiaco. Dalla passione bollente e travolgente dell'Ariete, espressa da Baudelaire e Verlaine, da Corso e Ferlinghetti, alla lenta e rigorosa analisi taurina di Kant, Marx e Freud. L'essere “nel mondo” dei Gemelli spiegato da Sartre e le visioni interiori e intime del Cancro raccontate da Kafka, Proust e Giacomo Leopardi. La regalità alchemica del Leone, tra Marcel Duchamp e Mick Jagger, e lo sguardo preciso della disincantata Vergine, rappresentata da Hegel e Adorno. La forma perfetta delle Bilance Nietzsche e Montale e l'azzardo fatale dello Scorpione, con Dostoevskij e Camus. L'avventura della sperimentazione del Sagittario, tra Flaubert e Frank Zappa, il fascino e il pragmatismo del Capricorno, da Molière a David Bowie, il genio e la libertà dell'Aquario, tra Mozart e James Joyce, fino all'emozione e al sacrificio dei Pesci, con Kerouac e Pasolini. Astrologia per intellettuali per la prima volta spiega in modo affascinante e colto il mistero del legame tra il cosmo e il carattere e il destino degli uomini ed è capace di celebrare la meraviglia di fronte alle stelle che da secoli accomuna milioni di persone. Marco Pesatori è nato a Milano sotto il segno del Cancro. Laureato in Critica d'arte, da giovane ha collaborato alle prestigiose riviste “Alfabeta”, “La Gola”, “SE-Scienza Esperienza”, dirette tra gli altri da Umberto Eco, Karl Popper, Paolo Volponi.

Yesterday was Lawrence Ferlinghetti Day in San Francisco. Ferlinghetti is considered the spiritual godfather of the Beat movement. Today, we're bringing you a documentary about the former San Francisco poet laureate that was produced by Jim McKee of Earwax Productions in partnership with the Kitchen Sisters.

Why are dream-inspired poems so powerful? We speak today with award-winning poet, author of multiple books, and committed activist, the dynamic Joan Gelfand. Joan shares a poem inspired by a dream called Burial, quoted in full below. She speaks about why she thinks that dream-inspired poetry can be so riveting while telling someone your dream can evoke eye-rolling and boredom. She also reads a poem about Ferlinghetti which formed the basis for an award-winning video which can be found here.  Joan also gives specific advice about crafting poetry. In the second half we take three calls. First Kelly Sullivan Walden calls to ask Joan how her dreamlife has been responding to the release of her new book. Joan brings up a dream in which a friend has a business named Contagious Vulnerability. Second we get a call from Adam who shares a dream about elephant which destroys his electrical panel. I offer an alternate idea to what he shared that ChatGPT had suggested about the dream. Finally we take a call from Donna of Capitola who shares that she is an observational poet. She shares a recurring dream about a trying to find a restaurant. BIO: Joan Gelfand is an award-winning author of three collections of poetry, a chapbook of short fiction, and a novel set in a Silicon Valley startup. Also a book about how to get your book published and new this year “Outside Voices: A Memoir of the Berkeley Revolution.” Find our guest at: JoanGelfand.com Burial by Joan Gelfand You might imagine a box, Airless, close the sound of dirt clumps Falling like rain. You might imagine a mudslide Rushing down steep mountain terrain Your legs buckling. You might imagine a building, Shaken to its core, rubble tumbling Knocking you senseless. You might imagine water, too deep, A collapsed bridge, a tunnel broken. My burial was none of these. An angel chanted And I went under, alone and Unafraid.

JAZZ INTERVIEW mardi et vendredi à 14h. Cette semaine, Julie Chaizemartin, Serge Mariani ou Fred Blanc rencontrent des personnalités du monde du jazz. Julie s'est rendu au festival Jazz à Junas qui s'est tenu du 18 au 22 juillet à l'occasion des 30 ans du festival. Du 18 au 22 juillet, Jazz à Junas a fêté ses 30 ans cette année sous les pins et au son des cigales. Ce village du Gard, niché entre Nîmes et Montpellier vit au rythme du jazz puisque même ses rues ont été renommées avec le nom de musiciennes et musiciens de jazz qui sont passés sur la scène en plein air du festival. Dans un site extraordinaire, la musique y résonne et illumine les carrières dites « Du Bon Temps » qui ont comme un air de ruines antiques. La poésie opère. Soirées magiques donc, son et lumière, pour cette édition un peu particulière qui a aussi mis en avant l'armée de bénévoles qui œuvrent chaque année à la réussite de l'événement. Le premier soir, le public a pu s'évader au son raffiné de la trompette de Paolo Fresu qui présentait « Ferlinghetti », son dernier projet en quartet. Le deuxième soir, place aux femmes avec la batteuse Anne Pacéo et la chanteuse Sandra Nkaké qui présentait son nouvel album « Scars ». Le jeudi, c'est l'accordéon revisité qui nous a épaté, d'abord, avec le trio du jeune Noé Clerc, accompagné par Clément Daldosso à la contrebasse et Elie-Martin Charrière à la batterie. Lauréat du concours Jazz Migration, Noé Clerc se produisait sur la scène des talents émergents, à 18h, en entrée libre sur la place du village, et nous l'y avons rencontré juste après son concert. Crédit photo : Marc Duponcel Si Vincent Peirani est l'un des parrain du jeune Noé, il se produisait justement le même jour, pour le concert de clôture, après le jazz traditionnel du batteur Daniel Humair. Sur ce dernier, référence incontournable de la scène jazz française, notons qu'il connaît bien Junas puisqu'il est l'auteur des vitraux qui ornent le temple du village. Musicien de jazz et artiste peintre donc aussi. Après ses standards fougueux, l'accordéon de Vincent Peirani nous a subjugué, accompagné à merveille par Ziv Ravitz à la batterie et Federico Casagrande à la guitare. Un moment rare de jazz s'envolant en fusion dans des rythmes cinétiques et électro d'une rare poésie. Le vendredi soir était scandinave, avec le contrebassiste suédois Lars Danielsson et son projet "Liberetto". Magnifique, le piano de Grégory Privat s'élevait en maître incontesté de la scène et la batterie de Magnus Oström livrait un extraordinaire solo. A sa suite, le jazz électro du trompettiste norvégien Nils Petter Molvaer revenait à Junas après s'y être produit 25 ans plus tôt. Moment de tension et de grâce pour cette trompette lancinante dans le meilleur sens du terme. Un véritable évènement puisqu'il s'agissait d'un hommage à l'histoire du festival, qui se tissait aussi ce même jour sur la scène des talents émergents avec le groupe du jeune contrebassiste Basile Rahola, natif du village.Enfin, la dernière soirée, éclatante elle aussi, avec "Le Sacre du Tympan" de Fred Pallem dont la musique symphonique nous a emmené rêver vers les étoiles et les satellites d'Elon Musk, réécouter un des premiers morceaux de musique électronique française ou encore se prélasser au son d'une balade sensuelle.En clôture de ses 30 ans de Festival, le violoniste Théo Ceccaldi a surpris avec son nouveau projet "Kutu", qui rend hommage au chant éthiopien et trace le sillon d'une musique plus accessible et populaire, très "festival" en un mot, par rapport à celle, plus sophistiquée à laquelle il nous avait habitué. Le public de Junas, en transe, comme les musiciens sautant sur la scène, en a donc profité pour danser ! Crédit photo : DR - Jazz à Junas

Maybe it's the weather today, which has a kind of air that feels like San Francisco, but for whatever reason, I flashbacked to the time I met Lawrence Ferlinghetti. It was my first time in San Francisco, and I'd already been to City Lights, hoping to lay eyes on him, this poet who'd inspired me in my teens. I used to make artworks out of his poems. I'd photocopy my favorites, paste them to a newspaper front page and paint around them. She was very earnest, teen Emily. Anyway – early twenties Emily was in San Francisco, trying to follow the way of the Beats, drinking cappuccinos in North Beach and hanging out at City Lights. And I don't remember if I knew Ferlinghetti was going to be at this restaurant nearby or he just happened to turn up – but I sat furiously writing in a booth a few tables away until I could work up the courage to go and ask him for an autograph.

Subscribe to Quotomania on Simplecast or search for Quotomania on your favorite podcast app!On March 24, 1919, Lawrence Ferlinghetti was born in Yonkers, New York. After spending his early childhood in France, he received his BA from the University of North Carolina, an MA from Columbia University, and a PhD from the Sorbonne. He is the author of more than thirty books of poetry, including Poetry as Insurgent Art (New Directions, 2007); Americus, Book I (New Directions, 2004); A Far Rockaway of the Heart (New Directions, 1997); and A Coney Island of the Mind (New Directions, 1958). He has translated the works of a number of poets, including Nicanor Parra, Jacques Prevert, and Pier Paolo Pasolini. In addition to poetry, he is also the author of more than eight plays and three novels, including Little Boy: A Novel (Doubleday, 2019), Love in the Days of Rage (Overlook, 1988), and Her (New Directions, 1966).In 1953, Ferlinghetti and Peter Martin opened the City Lights Bookstore in San Francisco, California, helping to support their magazine, City Lights. Two years later, they launched City Lights Publishers, a book-publishing venture, which helped start the careers of many alternative local and international poets. In 1956, Ferlinghetti published Allen Ginsberg's book Howl and Other Poems, which resulted in his being arrested by the San Francisco Police for publishing “obscene work” and a subsequent trial that gained international attention. At the end, the judge concluded that “Howl” had “some redeeming social importance” and “was not obscene”; Ferlinghetti prevailed. City Lights became known as the heart of the Beat movement, which also included the writers Kenneth Rexroth, Gary Snyder, and Jack Kerouac.In 1994, San Francisco renamed a street in Ferlinghetti's honor, and in 1998, he was named the first poet laureate of San Francisco. He is the recipient of many international awards and honors, including the National Book Critics Circle Ivan Sandrof Award for Contribution to American Arts and Letters, the Robert Frost Memorial Medal, and the National Book Foundation's Literarian Award, presented for “outstanding service to the American literary community,” among others. In 2003, he was elected as a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and in 2007, he was named Commandeur of the French Order of Arts and Letters. He died on February 22, 2021, in San Francisco, California.  From https://poets.org/poet/lawrence-ferlinghetti. For more information about Lawrence Ferlinghetti:“I Am Waiting”: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/42869/i-am-waiting-56d22183d718aA Coney Island of the Mind: https://www.ndbooks.com/book/a-coney-island-of-the-mind1/“Lawrence Ferlinghetti”: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poets/lawrence-ferlinghetti“Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Poet Who Nurtured the Beats, Dies at 101”: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/23/obituaries/lawrence-ferlinghetti-dead.html“Thank You, Lawrence Ferlinghetti”: https://lithub.com/thank-you-lawrence-ferlinghetti/

Today is Lawrence Ferlinghetti Day. Ferlinghetti is considered the spiritual godfather of the Beat movement and in 2019, on his 100 birthday, San Francisco honored him by declaring March 24 a day to celebrate his legacy. In this documentary produced by Jim McKee of Earwax Productions in partnership with the Kitchen Sisters, we hear Ferlinghetti and his friend, radio dramatist Erik Bauersfeld.

Moar! Ferlinghetti, Burroughs, moaR!

Lawrence Ferlinghetti (Nueva York, 1919- San Francisco,2021) Fue a comienzos de los 80 del siglo pasado cuando la estupenda editorial Hiperion publicó en España, por primera vez, un poemario de sugerente título (Un Coney Island de la mente), obra de un autor de apellido italiano, casi desconocido entre nosotros: Lawrence Ferlinghetti. Desde entonces, su nombre y el de sus compañeros de generación (el poeta Ginsberg, los novelistas Kerouac y Burroughs, el poeta y narrador Bukowski, entre otros), rompieron el círculo de los enterados para incorporarse al imaginario de la Literatura en el ámbito hispánico. La obra de la que hablamos había aparecido, no obstante, en 1958, en los EEUU, y fue la carta de presentación de un poeta, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, cuya trayectoria va a dilatarse hasta los primeros años ya de nuestro siglo. Ciertamente, se trata de un libro que no precisa más que de ser leído…o escuchado. Porque un primer rasgo que lo caracteriza es el de su oralidad: se trata de poemas de aliento coral escritos con el lenguaje del hombre medio norteamericano, con clara voluntad democrática, por tanto. Un código perfecto para expresar y denunciar la enajenación personal y colectiva a que somete implacablemente el sistema ultracapitalista. Oralidad, voluntad democrática, protesta ante un mundo deshumanizado…Ferlinghetti acude a las raíces de la gran poesía norteamericana: Walt Whitman. Y, en su estela, el coloquialismo de su verso nunca cae en lo soez, ni se envilece, como si defendiera una dignidad irrenunciable. Una voz la suya que influirá de modo decisivo en el nacimiento del frente contestatario, pacifista y espiritualista, de los años 60 en los EEUU, y que acabará extendiéndose a todo el occidente a través, principalmente, de la canción. -Fernando Alcaine- CRÉDITOS: (título/música/voz) • Presentación (Fernando Alcaine) / Eddie Higgins (Christmas Songs-1) / Manuel Alcaine • A veces, durante la eternidad / Wynton Marsalis (Blue Christmas-1) / Néstor Barreto • Cristo se bajó / Wynton Marsalis (Blue Chrismas-2) / Lola Orti • El mundo es un hermoso lugar / Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie (Bloomdido ) / Mingo España • En las mejores escenas de Goya / Dizzy Gillespie & Arturo Sandoval (Wheatleigh Hall) / Mª José Sampietro • Calle larga / Eddie Higgins (Christmas Songs-2) y Bob Dylan (The Christmas blues) / Elena Parra

Omar Pedrini"Pavese Festival"https://fondazionecesarepavese.it/pavese-festival/Quello che cerco l'ho nel cuore, come te.PAVESE FESTIVAL 2021XXI edizione, da giovedì 9 a domenica 12 settembre a Santo Stefano Belbo con contributi inediti di: Marcello Fois, Alessandro Preziosi, Neri Marcorè, Omar Pedrini, Colapesce e Dimartino Quattro giornate per celebrare Cesare Pavese nel suo paese natale: a Santo Stefano Belbo, da giovedì 9 a domenica 12 settembre 2021, torna l'appuntamento con il Pavese Festival, la rassegna tra musica, arte, teatro e libri che ogni anno invita grandi protagonisti del panorama culturale italiano a dialogare con lo scrittore, le sue opere e i luoghi che le hanno ispirate. Ospiti dell'edizione 2021 saranno: Marcello Fois, Alessandro Preziosi, Neri Marcorè, Omar Pedrini, Colapesce e Dimartino, ciascuno presente con un contributo inedito ideato appositamente per il Pavese Festival. Il filo conduttore del festival - per il secondo anno consecutivo chiamato a confrontarsi con le sfide della pandemia - è la frase che Cesare Pavese fa pronunciare a Odisseo in uno dei Dialoghi con Leucò: Quello che cerco l'ho nel cuore, come te. Un invito all'ascolto interiore per tornare alla propria verità, dopo un lungo periodo di inquietudini e incursioni nell'ignoto. L'edizione 2021 si apre giovedì 9 settembre con la presentazione di una nuova proposta editoriale curata da Marcello Fois e realizzata da Fondazione Cesare Pavese ed Emons: l'audiolibro dei Dialoghi con Leucò, interpretati da Michela Cescon, Paolo Cresta, Alessandro Curti, Marcello Fois, Iaia Forte e Neri Marcorè e accompagnati dalle musiche di Gavino Murgia, in uscita proprio il 9 settembre, compleanno di Cesare Pavese, nella nuova collana Double face. Alle ore 18.30 sul palco di Piazza Umberto I, Marcello Fois racconterà il progetto e leggerà insieme ad Aldo Delaude alcuni brani dell'opera, con l'accompagnamento musicale di Gabriele Fioritti. A seguire, alle ore 21.30, la prima nazionale del recital di Alessandro Preziosi ispirato al romanzo La luna e i falò, nell'adattamento di Tommaso Mattei e con le musiche di Ezio Bosso. Lo spettacolo si sofferma sui punti focali del noto “romanzo del ritorno”, teso tra la dimensione dell'infanzia e la visione nitida della tanto auspicata maturità, evidenziandone la tensione verso la poesia e allo stesso tempo l'intimo sforzo verso uno stile nuovo. La performance si impegna a restituire il logorio di cui Pavese soffriva da tempo, con grande rispetto e attenzione alla lingua del romanzo.Venerdì 10 settembre alle ore 18.30 la Chiesa dei S.S. Giacomo e Cristoforo, nel centro storico di Santo Stefano Belbo, ospiterà l'inaugurazione della mostra “Fascinazioni mitologiche: D'Annunzio e Pavese” del pittore, scultore e incisore siciliano Concetto Fusillo. Un viaggio tra antico e contemporaneo in cui - accostando i mondi poetici dell'Alcyone e dei Dialoghi con Leucò - l'artista ricostruisce i paesaggi, le storie, le mitologie e i percorsi della memoria in cui rintracciare le nostre radici concettuali. A seguire, alle ore 21.30, il palco di Piazza Umberto I tornerà a ospitare uno degli storici protagonisti del Pavese Festival, Neri Marcorè, che quest'anno presenterà un tributo ai Dialoghi con Leucò, accompagnato dalle note di Domenico Mariorenzi. I testi selezionati, intervallati da una serie di brani di cantautori italiani, sono i dieci scelti per Dialoghi con Leucò come non li hai mai ascoltati, il podcast che la Fondazione Cesare Pavese ha inaugurato nei mesi scorsi in collaborazione con Lessonpod. Il programma di sabato 11 settembre si apre alle ore 11 con la presentazione del libro Ciò che nel silenzio non tace, opera d'esordio della scrittrice Martina Merletti edita da Einaudi e scelta dal gruppo di lettura condivisa della biblioteca civica “Cesare Pavese” di Santo Stefano Belbo come lettura estiva. Nel pomeriggio il festival si sposta sulle colline di Santo Stefano Belbo, con la passeggiata inaugurale del MOM (Multimedia Outdoor Museum), un vero e proprio museo del territorio all'aperto, la cui narrazione si dipana secondo i fili conduttori di Cesare Pavese e dell'interpretazione del territorio di Langhe-Roero e Monferrato. La passeggiata, in partenza alle 17.30, sarà scandita dalla lettura di brani pavesiani a cura di Paolo Tibaldi e si concluderà all'agriturismo “I Piacentini” con le note del duo Cappellino - Ciampini (Tiziana Cappellino, voce e pianoforte; Enrico Ciampini: contrabbasso). Altro gradito ritorno al festival, sabato sera alle ore 21.30, quello di Omar Pedrini che condurrà il pubblico in un viaggio on the road ispirato alla passione di Cesare Pavese per la cultura e la letteratura americane. Tra letture e musica, il cantautore e storico leader dei Timoria, accompagnato per la serata da Simone Zoni nel Duo elettroacustico, proporrà un inedito parallelo tra il percorso pavesiano e la beat generation. L'ultima giornata del festival, domenica 12 settembre, si apre con la presentazione del progetto performativo This Must Be Ultra: un'ultra maratona in solitaria e un dialogo a distanza per ricordare Cesare Pavese, da Torino a Santo Stefano Belbo, progetto a cura di Claudio Lorenzoni e Valentina Cei, in collaborazione con il Museo a Cielo Aperto di Camo. Nel pomeriggio, alle ore 17.30 lo stesso palco ospiterà Colapesce e Dimartino, duo-rivelazione del Festival di Sanremo 2021, in dialogo con il giornalista Massimo Cotto per quello che sarà l'evento di chiusura del festival Borgate dal Vivo. Anche quest'anno a chiudere il Pavese Festival sarà il teatro: alle ore 21.30 il palco di Piazza Umberto I ospiterà infatti lo spettacolo “Caro Maestro” di Valerio Binasco e Giulio Graglia, ispirato al carteggio che rivela la passione non ricambiata tra Luigi Pirandello e l'attrice Marta Abba. Una nuova rilettura che privilegia il rapporto sentimentale tra i due, ricostruito attraverso una serie di lettere scritte tra il 1926 e il 1936.

A great practitioner, publisher and defender of poetry was Lawrence Ferlinghetti. He passed away just shy of his 102nd birthday earlier this year. Born in Yonkers, New York in 1919, his education was paused for World War II and Atlantic and Pacific tours in the U.S. Navy. He witnessed firsthand the ruins of Nagasaki after the atomic bombing in 1945. He became a committed voice for peace and social justice. Ferlinghetti co-founded the country's first all-paperback bookstore, City Lights Books in San Francisco in 1955. Bay area poets Kenneth Patchen and Kenneth Rexroth, then Denise Levertov and Allen Ginsberg appeared under the City Lights imprint. The small press got national attention when Ferlinghetti and his partner were arrested on obscenity charges for publishing Ginsberg's poem Howl. The People of the State of California v. Lawrence Ferlinghetti proved an important victory for freedom of expression over censorship laws. Ferlinghetti had anarchist leanings. He remained politically committed through his art, and to liberation movements in Latin America especially.

Lawrence Ferlinghetti’s death this year at age 101 marks the end of a colourful, artistic life, aligned with the Beat generation. But the poet and publisher’s bookstore, City Lights, survives as a hub of rebellious ideas for all. We revisit Ferlinghetti and friends in San Francisco in this 2003 episode.

V epizóde plnej básní sa venujeme dvom poetom so židovskými koreňmi: Lawrencovi Ferlinghettimu, ktorý zomrel vo februári vo veku 101 rokov a Louise Glückovej, ktorá vlani dostala Nobelovu cenu za literatúru. Básnickým svetom nás sprevádzajú Milan Richter a Mirka Ábelová.

We lost Lawrence Ferlinghetti in February at the ripe old age of 101. On this week’s show, we celebrate the life of “The Godfather of the Beats.” We’ll hear the poet read two of his own verses, as well as a memory from Jack Kerouac and a reading from Ed Begley, Sr. of a piece by Walt Whitman. Musically, we'll hear from Aztec Two-Step who took their name from a line from a Ferlinghetti poem, Mose Allison, Patti Smith, Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Tom Waits and Rickie Lee Jones.

El primer episodio de Ping Pong Podcast está dedicado al poeta norteamericano Lawrence Ferlinghetti, quien falleció el 22 de febrero del año en curso, a la edad de 102 años. Hablamos de su obra, de su editorial City Lights y leemos su poema Baseball Canto donde Ferlinghetti menciona al lanzador dominicano Juan Marichal.

La leyenda respiró durante 101 años. Ferlinghetti fue cofundador de City Lights y autor estadounidense de poemas magníficos que rebasan la realidad mientras describe sus momentos más banales. Un artículo de Rober Díaz en voz de Constanza Mazzotti. El padre espiritual del movimiento beatnik y fundador de una de las editoriales y librerías más icónicas en San Francisco, City Lights –en honor de la película de Charles Chaplin–, murió a los 101 años de edad, de una enfermedad pulmonar, informó su hijo Julie Sasser. Ferlinghetti es el caso de uno de esos escritores convertidos en canon, no solo por su importancia en la época sino por su actividad como editor, periodista y un disruptor al tanto de sus compañeros Beat: Ginsber, Burroughs, Keurac, Kassady y de las no tanto famosas mujeres Beat como lo fueron Denise Levertov, Lenore Kandel o Elise Cowen entre otras, que además de su tiempo los unió, el gusto por la carretera y los viajes, el sexo, el orientalismo, la escritura automática, la alteración de la conciencia por medio de las drogas y el alcohol y el gusto por el jazz. Más que ser un estilo, el beatnik es un momento en el que una generación se opone a un sistema que no les da lugar y que por otro lado, ellos rechazaron. Leer más

Adamu Chan and Edmond Richardson met while they were incarcerated at San Quentin about two years ago, and have been best friends ever since. Adamu was released last fall, and they’ve kept in touch by writing letters to each other. We’ll hear part of an episode Adamu helped produce for the KALW Public Media podcast, “Uncuffed.” Then, we mark the loss of literary giant Lawrence Ferlinghetti, who died on February 22nd at the age of 101. Poet, activist, and publisher of many Beat poets of the 1950s and 60s, Ferlinghetti was considered by many to be the soul of San Francisco’s counterculture movement. The Kitchen Sisters, Nikki Silva and Davia Nelson, bring us an audio documentary they produced in honor of Ferlinghetti’s 99th birthday.

Lawrence Ferlinghetti, a poet, writer, publisher and founder of City Lights Books, died on Monday at the age of 101. "I really believe that art is capable of the total transformation of the world, and of life itself,” Ferlinghetti once said, and his multifaceted career bore that out. As a poet, Ferlinghetti offered what one critic called, a “plain-spoken, often wry critique of American culture.” As a publisher, Ferlinghetti nurtured the Beat movement, publishing writers like Allen Ginsberg, whose poem “Howl,” defined a generation. And as the founder of City Lights Books, he created a haven for the literary minded. His North Beach bookstore remains a well-loved and revered San Francisco institution. We’ll talk about Ferlinghetti’s life and legacy.

A reading of a few poems from Lawrence Ferlinghetti's A Coney Island of the Mind, and some reflections on Ferlinghetti himself. He died yesterday at the age of 101, and you can read his obituary here. Any comments, or suggestions for readings I should make in later episodes, can be emailed to humanvoiceswakeus1@gmail.com. I assume that the small amount of work presented in each episode constitutes fair use. Publishers, authors, or other copyright holders who would prefer to not have their work presented here can also email me at humanvoiceswakeus1@gmail.com, and I will remove the episode immediately.

Andra klistrade etiketter, själv var han poet och dikten ett teleskop i den amerikanska natten. Ulf Peter Hallberg minns Lawrence Ferlinghetti, beatsymbolen som inte ville kallas beat. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Lawrence Ferlinghetti. Namnet har klang av cirkusartist, förmodligen lindansare. Någon som varje kväll högst uppe i cirkuskupolen sätter den ena foten framför den andra och får det riskfyllt livsfarliga att verka enkelt. Vardagsmat! Namnet Ferlinghetti klangen slår blå dunster i ögonen på oss. Hans poesi handlar om vardagen och hans ansats får gator, städer, stämningar och vardagssituationer att verka självklara. Dikterna är sprungna ur en epok när man trodde på drömmar och på inlevelse. Det äkta! Man kämpade mot kriget, samhället, normaliteten, den kapitalistiska bluffen, ja, mot all styrning. Man ville inte ge sig. Man ville genomskåda allt. Beatgenerationen inledde hippie-eran, utlevelsens epok i Vietnamkrigets skugga. Ferlinghettis kompis Jack Kerouac skrev romanen På drift så tidigt som 1955. Skrivandet var beat, rytm, poetisk prosa, drömmen om att förstå tillvaron. Kerouac och Ferlinghetti träffades i San Francisco, där den senare 1953 hade börjat bygga sitt livsverk, bokhandeln och förlaget City Lights Books. Hans bakgrund var brokig och han trevade sig fram genom tillvaron som poet. Lawrence Ferlinghetti föddes i New York 1919 som femte barnet till en ensamstående mor som led av psykiska problem. När han var i treårsåldern lades hon in och Ferlinghetti följa med sin faster Emelie till Frankrike. Han kom tillbaks efter några år med ett annat skönt språk i kroppen, la langue française, och Frankrike skulle för alltid vara hans andra hemland. Han var med vid den amerikanska flottans landstigning i Normandie den 6 juni 1944 och deltog i befriandet av Paris undan den nazistiska förbannelsen. 1947 är han tillbaka i Paris, bor till 1951 i två små rum i källaren på 89 rue Vaugirard, skriver på en doktorsavhandling på Sorbonne, går omkring på gatorna, sitter och skriver på kaféerna. Blir vän för livet med George Whitman, han med bokhandeln Shakespeare & Co, beatpoeternas främsta tillhåll. Paris är löftet som ska infrias och hans dikter är som staden själv, de existerar som möjligheter till något annat, vänskap eller generositet kanske. Som lindansare har han hela tiden svajat på linan, lite på avstånd, betraktande från ovan men inte von oben. Medkänslan är självlärd. Utanförskapet och självständigheten befästes tidigt. När han som barn återvände från Frankrike placerades han i en rätt fin fosterfamilj i Bronxville, Upstate New York. När han var sex år kom några främlingar förbi, det visade sig vara hans biologiska mor och två av hans bröder. De frågade vem han ville vara med familjen därinne som tagit hand om honom eller med dem, hans mor och hans bröder? Tiden stod stilla för Little Boy, som han kallar sig i den biografiska romanen med samma namn. En lång tystnad. Ferlinghetti skruvade på sig, sex år gammal. Stay here, muttrade han till slut, han ville bli kvar och la så grunden till ett självständigt liv. Nästa fosterfamilj var fattigare. Han bar ut tidningar från fem på morgonen innan han gick till skolan och började skriva om allt han såg, dag och natt, han kände sig som Huckleberry Finn. Ferlinghetti fortsatte att stå på egna ben, han ville absolut inte kallas beatpoet. Andra klistrar etiketter; han är poet, dikten ett teleskop i den amerikanska natten. Han arbetar på sin frihet. Hans verk ställer framför allt en fråga till oss: Vad har hänt med våra drömmar? Beatgenerationens förlorade drömmar avtecknade sig mot den amerikanska mardrömmen: the Neat, the Order, det prydliga, ordningen, det sterila. Poeterna, romanförfattarna och livsnjutarna var rebeller mot den stora ordningen. Det gick åt helvete för nästan alla. Ferlinghetti blev en av de få överlevarna, kanske för att han tog hand om sina egna barn. Det är så man lär sig nåt av livet. Big Boy hade inte glömt Little Boy. Beatpoeterna hade många fel, men de ljög inte om sina fel. Och Ferlinghetti gav sig själv ett uppdrag. Inte att förklara, utan att uppenbara. Han skriver: Världen är en underbar plats                                     att vara född på om du bortser från att lyckan                                          inte alltid är                                                          särskilt trevlig om du inte har något emot att helvetet öppnar sig                                                              då och då      precis när allt är som bäst                                               för inte ens i himlen                        sjunger de                                     hela tiden Hans mest kända diktsamling lär ha sålts i en miljon exemplar A Coney Island of the Mind som fick bli Själens cirkus när den gavs ut på Bo Cavefors förlag i översättning av Thomas Kjellgren lyssna här! Ständigt utsatt för det absurda                                           och döden när han uppträder                             ovanför publikens                                                huvud klättrar poeten likt                          akrobaten på rim                               till den finaste tråden i sin egen skapelse och balanserar på ögonbryn                                      ovanför ett hav av ansikten            stegar sin väg                              till dagens andra sida Vår poet, Ferlinghetti, står på sina lilla avsats i cirkustältets kupol, spanande uppåt, han ska strax ta steget ut på linan Vi ser honom i skarp relief mot himlens hela oändlighet. Cirkusdirektören äskar tystnad. Där, precis under taket, säger Ferlinghetti: I den jordiska natten återvänder världens oresonliga tystnad. Det säger han däruppe från sin lina. Vill han skrämma oss? Natten är ett slags barbarisk sfinx, deklamerar han. Inga svar där inte! Vad snackar han om? Han som överlevde alla och såg så mycket; han borde han väl veta vad som är det viktiga? Plötsligt inser vi: Inte ens en poet kan förklara existensen. Kanske är undret, för den som har lyckan att bli riktigt gammal, ja, mer än hundra år, att förstå hur lite vi vet och se det som en möjlighet. Där börjar det stora äventyret. Sökandet efter kunskap, förståelse. Hans resedagböcker 1960-2010 Writing Across the Landskape befäster insikten: Poeten äter Prousts madeleinekakor och sköljer munnen med sång. I en tom rymd. Ordet dröm är precis som hos Kerouac besvärjelse. Målet är kärlek, inlevelse, extas. Ferlinghetti säger: Drömmen är att försöka förstå. Vi är alla här under de drömmande träden, ansikte mot ansikte med oss själva. Hans sista ord från linan däruppe är: Min kompis Allen Ginsberg sa: Det viktiga när man ska dö är att fokusera, att man koncentrerar sig på det. Detsamma gäller livet. Döda inte alla drömmar! Ulf Peter Hallberg, författare och översättare

Pandemi, poesi och parker kanske hör dessa tre de ihop? Författaren Ulf Peter Hallberg vandrar genom Tiergarten i Berlin, minns sina möten med Allen Ginsberg och känner hur livet måste förändras. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Den här berättelsen utspelar sig under den så kallade coronakrisen år 2020, när du som lyssnar hör den så befinner du dig kanske i någon mutation av samma kris eller så har den avlösts av en helt ny. Kanske upplever du någon form av lättnad, en lite ljusare tid. Vår tillvaro är en pendel mellan dessa poler som inte kan existera utan varandra. En oväntad händelse utlöser en kris, hela planeten ligger i spasmer. Hur ska vi höra ihop, om allt är kaos? Vi drar i nödbromsen, resten beror på oss. Lärdomarna i denna berättelse är inte nya, de är alla erfarenheter som många gjorde detta år: Vi behöver våra minnen, vi behöver poesin och vi behöver träden. Men varje människa har sina egna hågkomster, dikter och parker. Detta är mina. När president Macron släckte ner Paris på kvällen torsdagen den 12 mars 2020 kände jag mig som den amerikanske poeten Allen Ginsberg. Denne var överallt när han levde, över hela jordklotet, och han tyckte om att undervisa. Och så älskade han livet. Jag identifierade mig med honom som lärare och författare. Därför var jag på Sorbonne, mot alla odds. Trots varningar från omvärlden hade jag tagit mig till Paris och mådde som alltid bättre än de flesta, den vita yang-pricken i den svarta yin-halvan, det är Pariseffekten. I Luxembourgträdgården, min viktigaste plats på jorden, höll jag och mina elever på med ett skrivprojekt som var en reaktion på situationen, smittan: hur man berättar en historia när allting är hotat, när allt står på spel, när man inte kan tro på nånting längre. Undantagstilltåndet! Plötsligt var grindarna till parken låsta. Alla kaféer och mötesplatser  ja, hela staden! nedstängd. Ett enda tal från Macron till franska nationen; alla hade förstått, det är sista chansen. Ginsberg hade sprungit omkring i Luxembourgträdgården 1957-58 när han bodde på The Beat Hotel. Sommaren 1980 besökte jag honom några dagar i Boulder, Colorado, där han undervisade om de engelska romantikerna för unga studenter som ville lära sig skriva. Han lärde mig något som han kallade negativ kapacitet. Hur man kommer vidare med det osäkra, mysteriet. I mars 2020, stod vi plötsligt inför ett osynligt virus, en kallhamrad egoist. Covid-19, partikeln utan spegelbild, en trojansk häst på bröstet till varje människa. Några dagar senare kom jag iväg från Paris med ett av de sista planen som lämnade staden just då, mot Berlin. Paris var stängt, Luxembourgträdgården stängd. Jag sökte mig till Berlins stora park, Tiergarten och började gå runt en timme före mörkrets inbrott. Nästa dag gjorde jag samma sak och nästa samma igen. Det skulle pågå hela året och fortsätta nästa. Tiergarten skapades som jaktmark 1527 och när jag går där så tänker jag på allt de här träden har sett sedan 1945. Äldre än så är de inte. Vid andra världskrigets slut fälldes nämligen nästan alla träd och förvandlades till ved; av 200 000 praktfulla träd på 210 hektar återstod 700 ensamma, brandskadade små dvärgträd lite här och där. Tanken på att träden i Tiergarten planterades och växte ur ruinstaden Berlin hjälper mig. Om jag inte går dit varje dag känner jag mig sjuk. Jag har upptäckt att jag inte är ensam. Bland de många träd som talar till mig finns också människor som lyssnar till samma budskap, bara en bit bort, vid nästa träd. Efter några veckors kringströvande urskiljer jag återkommande par och enstöringar som jag, på samma platser, unga människor som tränar, gör gymnastiska övningar, vid ett speciellt träd, varenda dag. Barn som följer sina föräldrar genom parken på väg hem. Alltid samma väg. När jag går på gångarna hör jag hela tiden fragment av samtal mellan vänner och kärlekspar, om ditt och datt. Dessa samtal återskapar betydelsen av vänskap, promenader, förtroende och förhoppningar. Det låga ljudet av två vänner som samtalar förtroligt om någon detalj i livet på en av parkens gångar talar samma språk som Allen Ginsbergs poesi. I Colorado 1980 deklamerade Ginsberg Shelleys Hymn to Intellectual Beauty för att lära oss att älska konsten och livet. Vi pratade om allt under sena eftermiddagar i hans trähus i Boulder. När han talade lät det som  dikten Sång i Howl och andra dikter, här i översättning av Per Planhammar: Världens tyngd             är kärlek. Under ensamhetens börda, under missnöjets börda                så är tyngden, tyngden vi bär               kärlek. Beatpoeten Allen Ginsbergs poesi var uppmärksamhet på livet, utvecklad ur inre osäkerhet, nederlagets vrål som William Carlos Williams skrev i förordet till Howl. I den mediokra aggressionens tid, när existensen har satts inom parentes och allt präglas av sönderfall, ensamhet och skyddsanordningar, då går jag bland de kraftfulla trädstammarna i Tiergarten och tänker på vad Allen Ginsberg sa på verandan till trähuset i Boulder 1980: Det som gör en till författare är förmågan till inlevelse i chocktillstånden. Som Virginia Wolf skrev: konsten är ett dolt mönster, vi är alla delar av ett konstverk. Hamlet och Beethovens stråkkvartetter är sanningar om det vi kallar världen. Det finns ingen Shakespeare, ingen Beethoven, och ingen Gud; vi är orden; vi är musiken; vi är tinget i sig. Sen satt vi tysta och rökte, och så sa Allen: Det bästa i oss uppstår ur vår sårbarhet. Ingen vila           utan kärlek Jag tänker i Tiergarten: Katastrofen är att historien förlorar sin mening om var och en bara arbetar på sin historia, söker kontakt utan förpliktelser Beatpoeterna ville se allt i den amerikanska natten, ingen människa var för liten Deras anslag var gemenskap, visioner, Baudelaires korrespondenser: Deras store fotograf och filmare Robert Frank sa att han kunde se Big Ben i London från Coney Island. När han var ung kunde han se timvisarna också. Ferlinghetti vill som poet rädda alla bortsprungna katter, han säger att poesin är det sista fyrtornet på ett stormigt hav. Krisen är uppfostraren, utvecklaren av det nya jaget. När Allen Ginsberg fick reda på att han hade kort tid kvar att leva ville han bygga en inspelningsstudio i sin lägenhet så att hans vänner Bob Dylan och Paul McCartney skulle ha professionell utrustning att spela på när de kom förbi. När min mamma fick en inoperabel hjärntumör så sa hon: I det mörkaste finns bättringen. Jag tar operationen.. Vad menade hon? Ginsberg visste. Han gjorde tai chi i sitt kök och tackade gud för att poeten Rimbaud blickade ner på honom från ovanför diskbänken. Min mamma levde elva år till efter operationen. När de sista solstrålarna får Victoria att lysa klart i guld över mig och alla andra som släntrar genom Tiergarten, deklamerar jag för träden och de förbipasserande en rad skriven av Lawrence Ferlinghetti till vännen Allen Ginsberg, och lovar mig själv att bli en bättre människa: Poesin är själens energi, om själen existerar. Då hör jag plötsligt någon säga: Du glömde oss. Så jag tillägger: Träden är livets energi, och ni existerar. Danke! säger träden Yin och Yang, med en och samma röst. Ulf Peter Hallberg, författare och översättare

I den mediokra aggressionens tid, när existensen har satts inom parentes och allt präglas av sönderfall, ensamhet och skyddsanordningar, då går jag bland de kraftfulla trädstammarna i Tiergarten och tänker på vad Allen Ginsberg sa på verandan till trähuset i Boulder 1980: Det som gör en till författare är förmågan till inlevelse i chocktillstånden. Som Virginia Wolf skrev: konsten är ett dolt mönster, vi är alla delar av ett konstverk. Hamlet och Beethovens stråkkvartetter är sanningar om det vi kallar världen. Det finns ingen Shakespeare, ingen Beethoven, och ingen Gud; vi är orden; vi är musiken; vi är tinget i sig. Sen satt vi tysta och rökte, och så sa Allen: Det bästa i oss uppstår ur vår sårbarhet. Ingen vila           utan kärlek Jag tänker i Tiergarten: Katastrofen är att historien förlorar sin mening om var och en bara arbetar på sin historia, söker kontakt utan förpliktelser Beatpoeterna ville se allt i den amerikanska natten, ingen människa var för liten Deras anslag var gemenskap, visioner, Baudelaires korrespondenser: Deras store fotograf och filmare Robert Frank sa att han kunde se Big Ben i London från Coney Island. När han var ung kunde han se timvisarna också. Ferlinghetti vill som poet rädda alla bortsprungna katter, han säger att poesin är det sista fyrtornet på ett stormigt hav. Krisen är uppfostraren, utvecklaren av det nya jaget. När Allen Ginsberg fick reda på att han hade kort tid kvar att leva ville han bygga en inspelningsstudio i sin lägenhet så att hans vänner Bob Dylan och Paul McCartney skulle ha professionell utrustning att spela på när de kom förbi. När min mamma fick en inoperabel hjärntumör så sa hon: I det mörkaste finns bättringen. Jag tar operationen.. Vad menade hon? Ginsberg visste. Han gjorde tai chi i sitt kök och tackade gud för att poeten Rimbaud blickade ner på honom från ovanför diskbänken. Min mamma levde elva år till efter operationen. När de sista solstrålarna får Victoria att lysa klart i guld över mig och alla andra som släntrar genom Tiergarten, deklamerar jag för träden och de förbipasserande en rad skriven av Lawrence Ferlinghetti till vännen Allen Ginsberg, och lovar mig själv att bli en bättre människa: Poesin är själens energi, om själen existerar. Då hör jag plötsligt någon säga: Du glömde oss. Så jag tillägger: Träden är livets energi, och ni existerar. Danke! säger träden Yin och Yang, med en och samma röst.

(From March 2019) City Lights celebrates the release of Lawrence Ferlinghetti's new novel, Little Boy, published by Doubleday Books with special guests reading passages from the book including: Andrew Sean Greer, Armistead Maupin, Michael Krasny, Maxine Hong Kingston, Shobha Rao, and Julien Poirier. A pre-recorded remark by Lawrence plays at the conclusion. This event was part of our Ferlinghetti 100th birthday celebrations in Spring 2019. In this unapologetically unclassifiable work Lawrence Ferlinghetti lets loose an exhilarating rush of language to craft what might be termed a closing statement about his highly significant and productive 99 years on this planet. The "Little Boy" of the title is Ferlinghetti himself as a child, shuffled from his overburdened mother to his French aunt to foster childhood with a rich Bronxville family. Service in World War Two (including the D-Day landing), graduate work, and a scholar gypsy's vagabond life in Paris followed. These biographical reminiscences are interweaved with Allen Ginsberg-esque high energy bursts of raw emotion, rumination, reflection, reminiscence and prognostication on what we may face as a species on Planet Earth in the future. Little Boy is a magical font of literary lore with allusions galore, a final repository of hard-earned and durable wisdom, a compositional high wire act without a net (or all that much punctuation) and just a gas and an inspiration to read.

David Emblidge spent his childhood in Buffalo, New York and "on the sunny beaches of Ontario's Lake Erie." After university he worked at the Associated Press as a reporter covering everything from the "disappearance of rural doctors to hog futures, and one murder." Before entering the publishing trade as a second career he spent ten rewarding years as a professor following on degrees in English (Univ. of Virginia) and American Studies (Univ. of Minnesota).   He worked in publishing for nearly twenty-five years – as acquisitions editor, book packager, publishing consultant, editor in chief, and publisher. The houses: Harvard University Press, Cambridge University Press, Continuum, The Mountaineers Books. He founded Berkshire House Publishers (travel, regional literature and history, food), and  eventually sold it to WW Norton. As a book packager, he produced multi-volume series on various subjects for major trade book publishers such as St. Martins, Watson-Guptil, and Stackpole. He currently holds a tenured position at Emerson College, in Boston in the Dept. of Writing, Literature and Publishing.  We met at his offices there to discuss the histories of four iconic American bookstores: Boston's Old Corner Bookstore, Manhattan's Scribner's Bookstore and Gotham Book Mart, and San Francisco's City Lights. Along the way we meet Ticknor & Fields, Emerson, Thoreau and Hawthorne; Frances Steloff and T.S. Eliot; and on the West Coast, Lawrence Monsanto Ferlinghetti and Allen Ginsberg. Join us for the ride. 

(From March 2019, during our Ferlinghetti at 100 celebrations) Ronald K.L. Collins and David M. Skover discuss the subject of their book, "The People v. Ferlinghetti : The Fight to Publish Allen Ginsberg's HOWL," published by Rowman & Littlefield. Opening statement by Malcolm Margolin. Lawrence Ferlinghetti's name does not appear in any First Amendment treatise or casebook. And yet when the best-selling poet and proprietor of City Lights Books was indicted under California law for publishing and selling Allen Ginsberg's poem, Howl, Ferglinghetti buttressed the tradition of dissident expression and ended an era when minds were still closed, candid literature still taboo, and when selling banned books was considered a crime. Ronald K.L. Collins is Harold S. Shefelman Scholar, University of Washington School of Law. David M. Skover is Fredric C. Tausend Professor of Law, Seattle University School of Law. Together they have coauthored several books including The Trials of Lenny Bruce: The Fall and Rise of an American Icon (Sourcebooks, 2002) and On Dissent: Its Meaning in America (Cambridge, 2013)

Dandelions always seem to find a way to return. Michael Skau’s book of poems, Me and God was published through Wayne State College Press and two chapbooks of poems through Word Tech Editions. His poems have appeared in numerous periodicals and journals and he was awarded the 2013 William Kloefkorn Award for Excellence in Poetry. He has published articles on Jack Kerouac, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Richard Brautigan, Burroughs, and Corso, as well as books on Ferlinghetti and Corso. He is an emeritus professor in the Department of English at the University of Nebraska Omaha, where he taught for 37 years.

Fellow poet Naomi Shihab Nye says that Bob Holman's "life gusto and poetry voice keep the world turning." In this episode of The History of Literature, we tap into that voice, as Bob Holman joins us for a rollicking conversation about the poetic life he's led, from his birth in a small town in Kentucky to his decades living in New York City, where - in the words of Henry Louis Gates Jr. - he's "done more to bring poetry to cafes and bars than anyone since Ferlinghetti." Holman's latest works (Life Poem and The Unspoken, published recently by Bowery Books, were written fifty years apart. We'll ask Bob how he's changed as a poet and person in those years, and to give us his sense of where poetry has been, where it is now, and where it's headed. Poets and writers discussed or mentioned include ee cummings, William Blake, Gregory Corso, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Mayakovsky, the Russian futurists, Kenneth Koch, Ezra Pound, William Carlos Williams, Philip Roth, Donald Lev, Jackie Sheeler, Alan Ginsberg, Amiri Baraka, Jayne Cortez, Papa Susso, Pablo Neruda, Homer, Sappho, and Sekou Sundiata.

Today’s program presents poems by three of the poets whose works were essential influences in the earliest stages of my writing. They include the early William Butler Yeats, Robert Lowell in Lord Weary’s Castle, and Lawrence Ferlinghetti in A Coney Island of the Mind. I end my program with two of my own poems, one from my “Ferlinghetti stage” (written in 1968) and one from my “Lowell stage” (written in 1969).

The Beats were a generation of rambling poets, mystics, philosophers, rebel intellectuals, and writers growing up in a world defined by its newness and the uncertainty of the future. Kerouac, Ginsberg, Ferlinghetti, Burroughs; icons of American and literary history and, more importantly, virulently independent individuals determined to free themselves of the chains of literary and social dogma and usher in a new renaissance of free thought, free speech, free action - the freedom to experiment with life and the written word and to create in whatever way they chose. In this episode, I speak to the very knowledgable and generous founder of the Beat Museum, Jerry Cimino, in beautiful San Francisco! His insights and anecdotes are not only fascinating, erudite, and well-thought-out, but often funny and touching. I am thrilled to present the very first episode of Literated - I hope you enjoy!

How a Janitor Invented a Bestselling Junk Food; Poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti turns 100; Artists Reimagine 'Valley Girl'; A Letter From Charles Schulz, 50 years later

Throughout the month of March we'll be celebrating the centenary of a dear friend of the bookshop, the poet, publisher, artist and activist Lawrence Ferlinghetti. Every event this month will begin with a reading of one of Ferlinghetti's poems, something that was inspired by another friend of the bookshop, A.M. Homes, who visited us last summer and began her event with this reading of I Am Waiting.

At 99 years old, Lawrence Ferlinghetti is somewhat of a living legend. Not only is he the founder of landmark institution City Lights Books and Publishing, but he has also published countless books of his own, written thousands of poems, had his paintings exhibited around the world, became San Francisco’s first poet Laureate, and won numerous awards that celebrate his indelible mark on American culture. In these conversations from 2008 and 2009,  Tania and Lawrence explore the definition of poetry, Ferlinghetti’s collection of curiosities, and the 50th anniversary of his seminal book, A Coney Island of the Mind.   This interview originally aired on Tania’s radio show, Sight Unseen, on KALX in Berkeley, California, and on Resonance FM in London.

In honor of poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti's 99th birthday we celebrate with River’s of Memory, produced by Jim McKee of Earwax Productions. Over the last 20 years, Jim McKee has been chronicling Lawrence and Lawrence’s good friend radio dramatist Erik Bauersfeld (voice of Star Wars' Admiral Ackbar). Set to a rich soundscape that travels throughout San Francisco, the piece features poetry, interviews, and overheard conversations about Ferlinghetti’s life, work, the San Francisco beat culture, Ferlinghetti’s fight for First Amendment rights and more. Lawrence Ferlinghetti, opened City Lights bookstore in 1953, one of the first paperback bookstores. He also began publishing the Pocket Poet Series featuring poems by Beat Poets of the 1950s and 60s. In 1956 he published “Howl and Other Poems,” by Allen Ginsberg and was brought to trial on obscenity charges. The landmark first amendment case paved the way for the publication of other “banned books.”

The line for food was onerous. And no funnel cake. His philtrum is a bit too feline for someone serving food. This was not as much fun as it looked. This ride was, disappointingly, all facade.

On today's show, we talk to cartoonist Bill Griffith. Bill began his comics career in the late 1960s in New York before eventually heading out west to San Francisco to be part of the burgeoning underground comics scene in the 1970s, where he co-founded the comics anthology Arcade with Art Spiegelman. Around this time, Griffith also created his brilliant daily strip Zippy the Pinhead, which runs today in over 100 newspapers and has been compiled in numerous collections.Earlier this month while in town for the MoCCA indie comics festival, Bill stopped by Andy's apartment in Harlem to discuss America as a nation of losers, the guilt and paranoia of influence, the Beat poets and Greenwich Village in the '50s and '60s, growing up in Levittown, having parents that lived through the depression and WWII, and the failed Zippy film.Also, check out our 100th episode live in May at UCB East on the 7th with Sam Seder (Majority Report, Bob's Burgers), J.J.

"All human beings are also dream beings. Dreaming ties all mankind together." ~ Jack Kerouac “The Beat Generation, that was a vision that we had, John Clellon Holmes and I, and Allen Ginsberg in an even wilder way, in the late forties, of a generation of crazy, illuminated hipsters suddenly rising and roaming America, serious, bumming and hitchhiking everywhere, ragged, beatific, beautiful in an ugly graceful new way--a vision gleaned from the way we had heard the word 'beat' spoken on streetcorners on Times Square and in the Village, in other cities in the downtown city night of postwar America--beat, meaning down and out but full of intense conviction--We'd even heard old 1910 Daddy Hipsters of the streets speak the word that way, with a melancholy sneer--It never meant juvenile delinquents, it meant characters of a special spirituality who didn't gang up but were solitary Bartlebies staring out the dead wall window of our civilization--the subterraneans heroes who'd finally turned from the 'freedom' machine of the West and were taking drugs, digging bop, having flashes of insight, experiencing the 'derangement of the senses,' talking strange, being poor and glad, prophesying a new style for American culture, a new style (we thought), a new incantation--The same thing was almost going on in the postwar France of Sartre and Genet and what's more we knew about it--But as to the actual existence of a Beat Generation, chances are it was really just an idea in our minds--We'd stay up 24 hours drinking cup after cup of black coffee, playing record after record of Wardell Gray, Lester Young, Dexter Gordon, Willie Jackson, Lennie Tristano and all the rest, talking madly about that holy new feeling out there in the streets- -We'd write stories about some strange beatific Negro hepcat saint with goatee hitchhiking across Iowa with taped up horn bringing the secret message of blowing to other coasts, other cities, like a veritable Walter the Penniless leading an invisible First Crusade- -We had our mystic heroes and wrote, nay sung novels about them, erected long poems celebrating the new 'angels' of the American underground--In actuality there was only a handful of real hip swinging cats and what there was vanished mightily swiftly during the Korean War when (and after) a sinister new kind of efficiency appeared in America, maybe it was the result of the universalization of Television and nothing else (the Polite Total Police Control of Dragnet's 'peace' officers) but the beat characters after 1950 vanished into jails and madhouses, or were shamed into silent conformity, the generation itself was shortlived and small in number.” ― Jack Kerouac Subscribe to YouTube: transpondency Extra videos at transpondency.blip.tv Follow me on Twitter: @transpondency Email: suburban@transpondency.com
