"Razzamatootie!" -- Dannie Richmond, "Eat that Chicken"
André discusses Rimbaud, Beckett, Olson, Cavafy, and Scherazade.
"All of Rimbaud’s work is amazing in its ability to speak to younger generations (i.e. the Beats). But by the same token it is also indissociable from the always troubling figure of the poet who decides to drop out of the scene and stop writing poetry altogether."
Brief discusions of work by William Carlos Williams, Charles Olson, Ogden Nash, Billie Chernicoff, and Miriam Nichols
“Olson had moved beyond the institutional poetry reading, finding it to be little more than a performance rather than an engagement with the real. He was after a numinous transcendence through language, to open the world toward its further self.”
