Inspired in equal parts by Kurt Vonnegut and punk rock, in the late '80s I went to college to study literature. Oh man, the poetry curriculum was 200 years out of date, so, having heard rumors of the Beats, one day I read Howl on my own and had my mind blown. I immediately stood up and read it again, this time aloud. I didn't know a thing about Ginsberg's theories of line lengths and breath, but it just felt right to give it voice. One year later, I was at Brooklyn College studying poetry with Ginsberg himself. I was expecting a wildman, but he was a meticulous scholar with a seemingly bottomless well of knowledge. One of his key tenets (which I haven't since seen mentioned elsewhere since) was his idea of a poem being like sheet music for breath--that by reading aloud and replicating the breathing of the poet one accesses through physical means the emotional state of when the poem was written. Does that make sense? Anyway, excellent video series and thanks for the refresher course!

I should write a book ' How I almost punched Alan Ginsberg in the mouth ' Whatever people say about him and his poetry, in my personal experiences with him he personally was an assh*le! On one occasion when introduced to a young man in my presence, He made a very cruel and unfeeling remark to him. In general he acted like a jerk!
