In lieu of the random mentions of Coover and his novel-in-process, Lucky
Pierre, plus the fact -- already mentioned -- that "Lucky Pierre" references
appear in both Gravity's Rainbow and V., here's another one...from Frank
O'Hara's essay-slash-manifesto "Personism": Personism "puts the poem squarely
between the poet and the person, Lucky Pierre style, and the poem is
correspondingly gratified". This is, needless to say, correspondingly weird.
Funky. Does anybody know more re the "historical" Mr. Lucky himself?
presumably a porn, or at least a soft-core, actor in the, like, forties or fifties?
