    Extractions: Hair Genre Poem Keywords Aging Body Self-Image Ordinary Life Sexuality ... Time Summary The poem, through an account of the narrator's experiences with losing hair, explores issues such as aging, sexuality, and our impotence when faced with the vagaries of nature as it transforms our bodies. Ranging from ancient Egyptian lore to dime store pharmacies, Corso weaves a kaleidoscope of images about how humans treat and worry about their hair and how hair has been a mythopoetic vehicle for millennia. Much of the poem employs angry though humorous language whereby the narrator speaks to his hair and pleads with the gods to reverse his fate. Corso writes, "To lie in bed and be hairless is a blunder only God could allow"; and later, "Damned be hair! . . . Hair that costs a dollar fifty to be murdered!" The poem ends with an angry diatribe against hair and an inspired denigration of its mythological power. Commentary Gregory Corso, along with Jack Kerouac, William Burroughs, and

    Extractions: Gregory Corso, "La Via Americana" A veva settant’anni Gregory Corso, il poeta più europeista della Beat Generation, il movimento che dagli anni Cinquanta aveva aperto la via alla contestazione giovanile in America. Si è spento a gennaio all’ospedale di North Memorial Medical Center di Robbinsdale, nel Minnesota, dove a settembre si era trasferito a casa della figlia Sheri Langerman, un’infermiera, per un tumore alla prostata. Poeta autodidatta (lesse il russo Dostoevskij, il francese Stendhal e l’inglese Percy Shelley in carcere), il suo linguaggio è considerato tutt’oggi il più onirico della Beat Generation, addirittura il più ingenuo e naïf . Nell’intento di portare la poesia a un linguaggio colloquiale, di strada, tipico dei poeti newyorchesi degli anni Cinquanta e Sessanta, seppe raccontare in modo diretto, come una cronaca vocale estemporanea, gli eventi e lo stato di salute degli americani. Anzitutto evitando la retorica di massa, dei proclami giovanili che, nella misura in cui volevano essere rivoluzionari, finivano per essere nuovamente dettati da schematismi, abitudini e vincoli formali che contrastavano con l’idea di uomo libero cui Corso aspirava. Con la sua ironia ha scritto pagine provocatorie anti-Beat, nella misura in cui, al tempo, essere Beat significava essere alla moda.

And then, of course, the tourists which came down on the weekend, and they never see any of the people who live there, the residents; they only see each other and they point out to each other and say, "There's one." But all they do is come down with masquerade, try to act like they're Bohemian. This is as a kid that I saw it; remember now, this is before the Beatniks and all that. Anyway, it was the hippest place in town and I thought, "A big city like New York oh yeah, Tops." And as I grew up in it and the years changed there was movings around. I moved up over Lower East Side and I was adopted by eight foster parents; I lived all over New York City with these parents, man, till I was about ten years old. My father took me back home, back to Greenwich Village, and he thought by taking me out of the orphanage he'd be out of the World War too. But no way they got him anyway. He went in the Navy and then I lived on the streets.

Add to a Notebook Gregory Corso Gregory Nunzio Corso was born in New York's Greenwich Village on March 26, 1930, to teenage Italian parents. A year later, his mother moved back to Italy. After living in orphanages and foster homes, at age eleven Corso moved back in with his father, who had just remarried. After two years, however, he ran away; upon being caught he was placed in a boys' home for two years. He also spent several months in the New York City jail while being held as a material witness in a theft trial. He was returned to his father, but after running away again was sent to Bellevue Hospital for three months "for observation." At age sixteen, he began a three-year sentence at Clinton State Prison for another theft. While in prison, he read widely in the classics, including Dostoevsky, Stendahl, Shelley , Thomas Chatterton, and Christopher Marlowe, as well as the dictionary; it was there that he also began writing poems. In a Greenwich Village bar in 1950, the year of his release from prison, he met

    A Salute to gregory corso Poet Among Poets By Edward Sanders Few havelived the life of a poet with more energy than gregory corso.  
    http://www.woodstockjournal.com/corso6-18.html
    
    Extractions: Few have lived the life of a poet with more energy than Gregory Corso. He seems to have experienced about twenty lives from a hyper-energy source that must lead directly out of ancient Parnassus. Fearlessly he has thundered through the decades, going back for more than 50 years, beginning his poetry writing even before he met Allen Ginsberg in a bar in Greenwich Village in 1950. During those fifty years Gregory Corso has become world famous, and he has thrilled generation after generation with his poetry. Miriam and I first saw Gregory read at the Gaslight Cafe in the Village in early 1959 when we were still in NYU, and subsequently we have been onstage, backstage and on the poetry circuit with him on many occasions during the last 30 years. He's one of a kind, as they say; a legend; a man of a million anecdotes; virtually every well-published poet in America has a few Gregory Corso stories they cherish to tell. He's the real stuff. I've seen him pull a crumpled note sheet from his pocket just before heading out to a podium to thrill a crowd with a few hot-off-the-mind lines. I've seen him at a packed Town Hall in NYC literally being begged by the audience to read his famous "Marriage," hesitating for a few seconds, then reciting it as freshly as if it had been just written that morning.

29. Gregory Corso, 1930-2001 By Robert Creely
    Article by Robert Creeley on corso's death, January 17, 2001.  
    http://epc.buffalo.edu/authors/creeley/corso.html
    
    Extractions: by Robert Creeley Gregory Corso died last night (January 17), happily in his sleep in Minnesota. He had been ill for much of the past year but had recovered from time to time, saying that he'd got to the classic river but lacked the coin for Charon to carry him over. So he just dipped his toes in the water. In this time his daughter Sherry, a nurse, had been a godsend to him, securing him, steadying the ambiance, just minding the store with great love and clarity. He thought she should get Nurse of the Year recognition at the very least. There's no simple generalization to make of Gregory's life or poetry. There are all too many ways to displace the extraordinary presence and authority he was fact of. Last time we talked, he made the useful point that only a poet could say he or she was a poet only they knew. Whereas a philosopher, for instance, needed some other to say that that was what he or she was un(e) philosophe! poets themselves had to recognize and initiate their own condition. There are several quick websites that help recall him now. One gives a brief biography and discussion of a few of his poems:

30. The Best Minds Of My G-g-g-g-generation: An Evening With Gregory Corso And Allen

    Extractions: The Best Minds of My G-g-g-g-generation: An Evening with Gregory Corso and Allen Ginsberg I guess in the Sixties they called them happenings. As it happened, a friend of mine, Charlie Ross, managed to get the Blue Note to open its doors on a Sunday night, July 12, 1981. The scheduled event was a reading by Gregory Corso, with Allen Ginsberg and the Shambala Glass Chicken Rock and Roll Band. What did happen was the result of the fashionably tardy half-hour delay, a crowd left to warp in the rain, and several poets in search of an audience. "Not quite, big fella," admonished the manager. "I'm the boss ." It was then that I got a sick feeling, like when you're 200 miles from where you're going and you smell a burning wheel bearing. I found out later that the whole thing had been railroaded through under the auspices of the Boulder Poetry Project, and behind the back of the Boulder Council on the Performing Arts. Charlie had only to take his eye off things for five minutes before the hot-box really started smoking. Allen Ginsberg was setting up with his band. A reliable source had it that he'd been to a Clash concert and read a few of his poems while they accompanied. He was even invited to tape a session with them for their next album. No doubt Allen had his heart set on being a rock star. We might have seen a new Allen, wearing wraparound punk shades, spitting on the Mall. But somehow the session with the Clash never came off. Allen returned to Boulder from New York with a new dream, and tonight would be his shot at making it a reality. But when I watched him trying to tune the band to his harmonium, I could only wish him luck.

    Extractions: Another popular misconception surrounding the Beat Movement is that it was political. People often think of the Beats as the forefathers of the 1960's hippies. This probably stems from Allen Ginsberg's later advocacy of psychedelic drugs and involvement in protests against the Vietnam War. However, writes Beat critic Bruce Cook, "What the movement was, essentially, was apoliticala last-ditch stand for individualism and against conformity." (85) With the exception of Ginsberg, none of the original members of the Beat Generation ever really aligned themselves with the causes of the 60's. Burroughs was a self-styled anarchist, Kerouac was a conservative, and Corso supported American involvement in Vietnam. When reading Corso's poetry, the qualities that immediately grasp the reader are his honesty and wit. Ginsberg was quoted saying of Corso, "One reason I dig Gregoryhe'll write about anything, socks, army, food... He's extended the area of poetic experience further out than anyone I know" (Watson 125). As implied in Ginsberg's remark, Corso accomplishes much of this expansion through the original, often humorous way in which he treats practical, familiar subject matter. "Marriage," considered by many critics to be Corso's masterpiece, examines the 1950's American version of the institution. In this poem Corso describes his own fantasy of suburban life: So much to do! Like sneaking into Mr. Jones' house late at night

    Extractions: Gregory Corso is one of the original Beat poets. He met Allen Ginsberg in 1950 just after his release from prison where he served a three-year sentence for committing a robbery when he was 16. In prison he had begun writing poetry, some of which he showed Ginsberg. Ginsberg liked the poetry and was also attracted to the dark, Italian Corso who, at 20 years of age, had already experienced the underworld of the underclass. Born in New York City, his mother had died and his father had abandoned him, Corso was a product of the very environment the more middle-class Kerouac and Ginsberg exalted. Corso met Kerouac in 1951. They were friends despite the fact that Corso slept with Kerouac's girlfriend in 1953. The details are described in Kerouac's novel The Subterraneans . Years later the two friends went out drinking together. They ended up at a working-class bar called "The Kettle of Fish", and proceeded to antagonize the clientele. Kerouac got the shit kicked out of him and Corso "befuddled and appalled", according to Kerouac's girlfriend, Joyce Glassman Johnson, managed to get his bloodied friend over to her house. With regard to Corso as a poet, his peers have commented:

    Extractions: This poet was born in New York's Greenwich Village. At the ripe old and sophisticated age of 16, Mr. Corso landed in jail for stealing. At 20, Corso met Allen Ginsberg who liked the prison writing of this non-conformist Beat Generation writer. Levi Asher, keeper of an excellent Beatnik gateway- Literary Kicks on the World Wide Web, describes Corso: "More famous then [1950s-60s] than he is now, he has a standing alongside Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, and William S. Burroughs that is sort of comparable to Zeppo's standing alongside Groucho, Harpo, and Chico. That is, he isn't one of the big three, but if you want a big four, he's the fourth" Corso comes to the Pisces after two seasons with the Dharma Beats. He was a rookie in 1983, but didn't play again until last season.

    Extractions: The pictorial arrangement of text on the page is part of the experience of this poem, and I've tried my best to reproduce the positioning as it appears in Corso's original, published in 1958 by City Lights. I think this makes a very smart and original statement. To simply hate the A-Bomb and H-Bomb is easy. But the Bomb is real; we're stuck with it. As Corso says, it is 'necessary to love' the Bomb. Corso read this poem at New College in Oxford in 1958. Many members of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament were there, and they didn't appreciate Corso's humorous, ambivalent tone. He was heckled. Allen Ginsberg tried to explain what Corso was trying to express, and ended up calling the students a bunch of assholes. This does not seem surprising, in retrospect. Politics and humor have never coexisted peacefully, at least not for long. Like many Buddhists, I'll leave the politics to others and offer my help when it's needed, and cast my own lot with humor.
