Orlovsky, Ginsberg, Burroughs, and Corso—legends of the Beat Generation, posing for me outside Naropa. Boulder, Colorado, 1981

Boulder ’81 — four cats in the grass, Orlovsky always with papers in hand, Ginsberg part Buddha, dressed like a diplomat of dreams, Burroughs crumpled hat & wandering eyes, Corso unpretentious in linen, smirking like he knows how it all ends. They stood still just long enough for me to burn the frame.

The great Beat poet Gregory Corso, Paris, 1957
#GregoryCorso #BOTD

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

Can we fault a Beat poet for seeing Peggy Guggenheim as less desirable than her daughter? Guggenheim certainly did and Corso became persona non grata in #Venice and beyond. #peggyguggenheim #gregorycorso #history #culture #themodernsalonniere #beatpoetry #poetry

Gregory Corso, 1930–2001, by Patti Smith
(The Village Voice, Jan.23, 2001)
#GregoryCorso #BOTD #PattiSmith

"There was no doubt Gregory was a poet. Poetry was his ideology, and the poets his saints. He was called upon and he knew it."
