A loving, clear-eyed remembrance of #Ginsberg on his 100th bday. Favorite line (one of) "Garbo of my Karma." Favorite #poems:"Kaddish" & "A Supermarket in California."
“America when will we end the human war?” he asks in a short poem included in Howl. “Go fuck yourself with your atom bomb.” That last line, even seventy years later, even after the seeming complete commodification of all dissent under the reign of King Algorithm, still reads as shocking, as liberatory."

I was doing some research on Allen Ginsberg and found this article, from the Berkeley Barb (1965), "Demonstration as Spectacle, as Example, as Communication."

Remember Walt Whitman
Heute in der Geschichte der Arbeiterbewegung - 31. Mai 1819: Der Dichter Walt Whitman wurde geboren. Whitman brachte 1855 seinen ersten und berühmtesten Gedichtband, Leaves of Grass, auf eigene Kosten raus. Er wurde wegen seiner Sinnlichkeit als obszön kritisiert. Während des Bürgerkriegs meldete er sich freiwillig in #Krankenhäusern, um Verwundete zu pflegen. Viele glauben aufgrund seiner Schriften, dass Whitman schwul oder bisexuell war, obwohl dies von einigen Historikern bestritten wird. Oscar# Wilde traf Whitman 1882 in den Vereinigten Staaten und sagte dem Aktivisten für #Homosexuellenrechte George Cecil #Ives, dass Whitmans sexuelle Orientierung außer Frage stehe: „Ich habe noch immer den Kuss von Walt Whitman auf meinen Lippen.“ Whitman wird von vielen als Amerikas erster und größter #ichter angesehen. Er inspirierte viele, die nach ihm kamen, darunter Ezra #Pound, Langston #Hughes, #Kerouac, #Ginsberg, F#erlinghetti, Gary #Snyder und June #Jordan.
Whitmans Engagement für #Solidarität inspirierte viele #Linke der späten 1800er und frühen 1900er Jahre, darunter Emma #Goldman und die #WW, die Kopien von Whitmans Gedichten in Form des Little Blue Book an ihre Mitglieder verteilte. Bartolomeo #Vanzetti, Elizabeth Gurley #Flynn und Ralph #Chaplin bezeichneten Whitman ebenfalls als ihre #Inspiration. Er inspirierte auch den kubanischen Dichter und Revolutionär José #Martí sowie Pablo #Neruda und Jorge Luis #Borges.

Tariffs in A Supermarket in California

It's #WorldPoetryDay. What poem would you recommend that we read? Mine is Allen Ginsberg's, "A Supermarket in California." Here's a few lines & a link to the whole poem:
I saw you, Walt Whitman, childless, lonely old grubber, poking among the meats in the refrigerator and eyeing the grocery boys.
I heard you asking questions of each: Who killed the pork chops? What price bananas? Are you my Angel?

Saw a lot of signs today at the #Tesla takedown. Speaking of signs and protest, I'll be listening to and watching this iconic video with #Dylan and #Ginsberg.

Opening lines of Allen Ginsberg "America" (1956)
"America I've given you all and now I'm nothing.
America two dollars and twentyseven cents January
17, 1956.
I can't stand my own mind.
America when will we end the human war?
Go fuck yourself with your atom bomb.
I don't feel good don't bother me."https://allpoetry.com/poem/8495155-America-by-Allen-Ginsberg

I miss Steve Silberman's voice. In honor of him, today I will read and think about #Ginsberg's "A Supermarket in California."

June is #Alzheimer's and #Brain Health Awareness Month. After I wrote my #memoir with #neurologist Dr. Bruce Miller, I was invited to write a column for the #WSJ -- Five Best Books on Grief. I chose #Didion's The Year of Magical Thinking, #Morrison's Beloved, #Zauner's Crying in H Mart, Macdonald's H is for Hawk, and for good measure a poem, #Ginsberg's Kaddish. Here is my brief reflection on #Zauner. You are not alone in/with your #grief. #EndAlz

It was wonderful talking to and with Professor Gonzalez-Rivas's class about #Poe's poetry. We focused on "The Bells" and "Dream-Land," and the students were thoroughly engaged and their knowledge broad. Lots of other authors came up, including #Ginsberg, #Pynchon, and #morrison There seems to be a tradition -- a lovely one -- in Europe, and perhaps elsewhere (though not in the US) of giving speakers certificates like this.
