yup.
gotta play the hand we are dealt.
words, pictures, sound ... whatever works.
prepare a verbal, visual, audio chilloom, so to speak. ;)
just reading thru snyder's "axe handles" the other day ...
having spent so much time in those california hills ...
makes it easy to let him transport me there.
never saw ginsberg ...
but have a good bud who was his assistant for a while
at the The Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics
{Naropa Institute) in colorado ...
so got to hang out with some of the generation of beat
poets who continue the tradition.
will have to locate him and pass on the link to our Peace Effort.
