[Buddha-l] The Life & times of Allan Ginsberg--2 DVDs--- fromJoanna

[jkirk]

Hi Tony--I'm glad it reached a least one soul :)

Can hardly wait to see this DVD--once I heard someone's tape of
him reciting his poem 'Kaddish' and it made me just weep. He was
a great poet--not only a writer but a reciter, a speaker of
poetry. Like a few other artists of his period, he saw through
this country and its superficialities and knew where it was
heading.

Thanks, Joanna, for passing this along.  I'll look for the
interview on the NPR site.

Best,
Tony
