wish I'd been there
1944
black and white
world
Columbia University
manger of
hip
Kerouac meets Ginsberg
a generation wakes
yawns
stretches
and the colour of words move
across a dreary land like a
peacock fanning it's
magnificent tail
for the first
time
(dedicated to Harry Rout)

It was a great time to write. The Beats took an axe to the rules and said ",fuck it. Lets just create."

This is good. That last great stanza especially.
Sometimes I think I like "the beats" more than I do their work.
Just sometimes, though.
My favorite beat era poet is Lenore Kandel. "First They Slaughtered The Angels" really got me.
You may know her well, but here is a link anyway.

love this! framed within the b&w and the bright colours is a great way to display, visually, the enormous change between one era and the next
also really enjoy how the fanned feathers are like the poets, each an eye on the world reporting back from all angles and in modern-speke
