MockClay: ...
I remember my 31st year when I cried:
“To think I may have to go another 31 years!”
...
I love poetry because it makes me love
and presents me life.
from Gregory Corso's Writ on the Eve of My 32nd Birthday. 30 down hopefully at least 31 more to go

JeffreyStClair3: "The Animal Loves You Wear It In Your Eye" Any idea what that refers to, Fritz? Sounds like it could be the first line of a Gregory Corso poem...
alex_akanell: "these poems all bear the same theme, yet each page is a separate poem, and yet again each joins up to make a whole poem
and the poems can be shuffled up and be read as chance would have it no one poem comes first or last"

AuthorLachlan: What is Lachlan reading? 'Gasoline' by Gregory Corso
ByLeavesWeLive: Last night I drove a car
not knowing how to drive
not owning a car
I drove and knocked down
people I loved
...went 120 through one town.
I stopped at Hedgeville
and slept in the back seat
...excited about my new life.

LaborSouth: The Collective West's macabre dance of death in Ukraine, what Beat poet Gregory Corso would call a "laughable preview" of the "corpse the universe" that awaits.
AuthorLachlan: Just got a copy of Gregory Corso's 'Gasoline' (City Lights pocket edition) in the mail. Very excited to read!
NormalsBooks: shorties that Gregory Corso would pilfer for him. As Revolver distro says “psych twee freakbeat….where they explode with a sound that’s pulling from ‘60s jangly guitars, kiwi poppers & paisley underground revivalists”.
xtinastrong: Poetry by Joanne Kyger, David Antin, Gregory Corso, and maybe some holiday music by 7 Seconds, The Specials, Avail, T-Rex, John Coltrane, and much, much more.

MelanieJaxn: "O how terrible it must be for a young man--
seated before a family and the family thinking
We never saw him before! He wants our Mary Lou!
After tea and homemade cookies they ask What do you do for a living?" ~ Gregory Corso
scottedelman: Does anyone know whether Ray Nelson ever wrote about the four years he lived in Paris during the '50s, during which he met Allen Ginsberg, Gregory Corso, William Burroughs, Jean Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, and others? If there's a memoir out there, I'd love to read it.
venepoetics: “The cloaked Poe lived by night crossed a bridge
and looked at his face gigantically down in the sea below—
His day lacked electricity yet he held an agate lamp in hand.
Poets should live as phantoms, reclusive like Emily D.”
(Gregory Corso)
YouAreTheExpert: from Marriage by Gregory Corso: for Jim DeSalvo wherever he might be who is probably reciting the entire poem in some bar to anyone drunk enough to listen as I listened as we all listened so many centuries ago

gattofritto: “[Gregory Corso] tells me to remember: poetry is the opposite of hypocrisy. [...] Hypocrisy’s not the problem, I think, it’s allegory the breeding ground of paranoia. The act of reading into—how does one know when to stop?”
Dodie Bellamy, The Letters of Mina Harker, 1998.

shelleyscholar: Shelleyan 50 Gregory Corso (1930–2001). The Beat poet's ashes rest beneath Shelley's in the Protestant Cemetery, Rome. Shelley was one of Corso's Revolutionary Spirits. 'I Held a Shelley Manuscript', one of the lesser poems by a Shelleyan, is doubtlessly sincere & oddly moving.
Matthew95067823: "That I am manifold
a man pursuing the big lies of gold
or a poet roaming in bright ashes
or that which I imagine myself to be
a shark-toothed sleep a man-eater of dreams
I need not then be all-smart about bombs"
"Bomb"

poemakontsa: A brilliant metaphor for Time (and I am obsessed with metaphors about Time) I just found in the unlikely Gregory Corso:
Time
a long long long dog having chased its orbited tail
poemakontsa: Hello
by Gregory Corso
As a child I saw many things I did not want to be.
Am I the person I did not want to be?
...
Do I wear the cloth of a man who has failed?
...
In the great serenade of things,
am I the most cancelled passage?

I think they're more like medicine men then

GinaMurrell1: My faves are Washington (“All of Me”) and Anita O’Day (pic, “Sweet Georgia Brown”). And crowd shots that include Beat poet Gregory Corso, jazz critic Nat Hentoff, and dancer and Miles Davis’ then wife Frances Taylor. “Jazz on a Summer’s Day” is a joyous and life-affirming doc.
magistrabeck: Just sit here, knees up, amid amphora and aloe,
reading lusty potsherd, gobbling figs, needing no one--
Mine the true labyrinth, it is my soul, Theseus;

Shakespeare_Co: RIP Harold Chapman. In 1957, a chance encounter in Paris led Harold to Allen Ginsberg and the Beat Hotel at 9 rue Gît-le-Cœur. Harold moved into an attic room and began photographing residents, including William Burroughs, Bryan Gysin, Gregory Corso, and Ginsberg.
We miss him.
