johnstonglenn: Walter Höllerer was a contributing editor at the Evergreen Review for a while and his name was on the masthead. The San Francisco Scene issue inspired Junge Amerikanische Lyrik, which he edited with Gregory Corso. His review Akzente in turn informed the Evergreen German issue.

stevesilberman: Similar but more obscure: I once saw a signed copy of Jack Kerouac's "On the Road" in a used bookstore. The owner straight-up told me it was a forgery by Beat poet Gregory Corso, who had a little hustle going forging Kerouac's signature.

written by: Grant Guy
he was a pocketbook poet
left behind in a Greyhound depot
absorbing spit sweat & stench
in a godless black & white

AngusCarlyle: I got Gregory Corso “Marriage”:
“yelling Radio belly! Cat shovel!
O I’d live in Niagara forever! in a dark cave beneath the Falls
I’d sit there the Mad Honeymooner
devising ways to break up marriages, a scourge of bigamy
a saint of divorce”
Nice phone sounds included.
Walterkjazz: To paraphrase Gregory Corso: sitting on a park bench with nothing to do is power.
m00nbike: Postcard poem 5 for this week had to be an imitation of a Beat poem from the Beat Generation. I went with Gregory Corso’s “Writ on the Eve of my 32nd Birthday” Here is my reiteration:
oldfaysal: Bill Burr is the next Gregory Corso and I’m not afraid to say it!
SaeedTavanaee: When a captain dies
The ship doesn’t sink
And though the crew weeps the loss
The stars in the skies
are still boss.

nadxahnot: Gregory Corso was a wannabe Rimbaud. Did he make it?
rpanchasi: I’m lying in bed listening to Gregory Corso read 1958’s BOMB (again) & wondering … would the people go for an alarm clock that reads you a dif poem each morning bc I absolutely would.

venepoetics: In the new San Francisco poetry magazine CASTLE GRAYSKULL there’s a poem by Gregory Corso (c. late 1990s), from his upcoming posthumous collection The Golden Dot (New Directions), that surprises me with its plain-spoken & humble language, a radical shift in style for his poetry.
richardpgeer: Gregory Corso told us a poet should have a 1,2,4&10 liner for all occasions,
which I remembered on a late night in Paris tossing a pebble in the window of Shakespeare&Co.,
seeking a warm place to stay.
They put up Ethan Hawke once, but I was not so lucky, maybe cuz of the hour
zaharaesque: I'm a poet, I'm life. You're an editor, you're death. Proclaimed Gregory Corso to someone in the White Horse tavern - who shortly commenced punching him through the door and across the sidewalk.
(My favourite anecdote from David Markson's, The Last Novel)
brentellesmith: The worst thing about poetry is poets. The poem is a blessed thing. The poet is a shit.

zipperhead77: Should I get married? Should I be good?
Astound the girl next door with my velvet suit and faustus hood?
Don't take her to movies but to cemeteries

venepoetics: I missed a reading by Gregory Corso & Herbert Huncke at St. Mark’s Church, wish I’d gone. The only concert I saw that year was Sonic Youth at a theater in midtown, but I walked and took the train all over the city, recall Central Park covered in snow during the blizzard of 1996.

“His bold poetic voice embraced the irreverence of the beat generation with a love of English romanticism and Greek classics…” — James Campbell
venepoetics: Gregory Corso’s posthumous poetry collection coming out from New Directions, The Golden Dot, will be amazing. I bought his selected poems Mindfield (1989) at Three Birds Bookstore in Ybor City sometime in 1990, a luminous book.
RiffTap: Because sooner or later it will all go sour, the 2 of you whipped by the sport of high-ball & boogie, that don’t stop till you get enough rhythm reduced to a spot on the tongue.
Stupor, Terrance Hayes (kinda like Gregory Corso)
ADASpota: Gregory Corso - poet, juvenile delinquent, dandy, radio thief, sullen and broody scribbler in bars. The man Allen Ginsburg dubbed "A Beat Christ-boy".
I learned life were no dream
I learned truth deceived
Man is not God
Life is a century
Death an instant
ADASpota: The great Beat poet Gregory Corso, Paris, 1957
When the Messenger-Spirit
comes to your door
though locked
It'll enter like an electric midwife
and deliver the message
There is no tell
throughout the ages
that a Messenger-Spirit
ever stumbled into darkness

when I feel I’m going to die
So far it’s worked.
