beat poetry reading

so i made a bold attempt to introduce poetry to someone who doesn't care much for the genre. after several takes and edits, and extremely long rendering/exporting, i've came up with this file.

interesting facts-
i bought this collection on a whim while visiting the guthrie theatre in minneapolis, it shares a facility with an art museum, in the gift shop there was a collection of beat poetry called "the portable beat reader" edited by ann charters. i ran across "marriage" by gregory corso & really dug it man, i have recited it before during college open mic readings. just after i graduated, on my birthday, the author, gregory corso, died. RIP. i hope i did him justice.

gegory corso was an interesting poet. he is featured in an interesting dvd you might want to check-out called, "What Happened To Kerouac."

I prefer the poem Annabel Lee by Edgar Allen Poe. Nice poem, though.

Great reading of this best of Corso poems. It's always been my favorite and your free and easy recital does it much justice.

Hey man, fuck the negative gorgnaga. Whoever he is, he's a know-nothing angry loser. That Corso poem is hard to read and you did a good job reading it. I liked your personal touches, like when you strayed from the text a bit. Bravo.
