Poetics, Disembodied

[LARSSON at VAX1.Mankato.MSUS.EDU]

Just a note to mark the passing of Allen Ginsburg, one of TRP's admitted
inspirations (along with Kerouac, et al.).
A very Sixties moment--sitting in an auditorium at the feet of the Bard,
all hair and robe and sandals and beads, leading everyone in a chant
to Siva on his harmonium.
 
The next time I saw him up close was at an academic lit. meeting where he
had a neatly trimmed beard, a three-piece suit and looked (but didn't
talk) like a professor of economics.
