Theresa, you really make me think of the importance of the spoken word. "Supermarket" is filled with ambiguity on the page. Funny? Serious? So AG used both, depending upon his mood (& the audience?).
Marie, I was "Howl"ing over Tiny Yong because of the clip of the suave New Wave film director in his sunglasses talking about Brigitte Bardot, bad reviews, and contradicting himself at M-L. Took me back to that b&w era. If you did jump cuts from Tiny to Godard, you might have something special.
Tiny Yong :-))) so sweet. In the 60s-70s everyone was covering english songs in France. And songs in english translated to french sometimes don't make much sense. The lyrics come out funny and sort of... huh? My brother sometimes does it. He takes a song in English and sings it in French. I can't stop laughing. Try it with ABBA, you'll see. OK, sorry to interrupt such an interesting thread, carry on...
If we're on the Whitman, Crane Bridge to Nowhere, here's the Ginsberg link that gets us to the other side of the continuum:
Theresa, Ohio can claim Hart Crane proudly. Do you know that quote? A NY critic/socialite (wish I could remember) dismissed him as a "genius from Cleveland" & that has unfortunately stuck. I come across that quote often. In fact, that poem "Eohippus," "I don't think the Ice Age was as decadent now as it is in Cleveland" (or whatever it says) - that was written with the Hart Crane quote in mind.
Hello genkis. Oh, this discussion thread has built up quite a lot since last time I have been here. I'm thinking what else can we build that is not a bridge (rip off) or a tower (too phallic, apparently). Maybe a garden? I don't know.
Dw, I'm on a no-speakie computer, I'll check out the video this evening. Looks promising!
No one likes Tiny Yong singing Eight Days A Week in French?
OK, and I confess my motive to keep Walt on the Brooklyn Ferry and keep him with us. I heart WW.
Seriously now, yes, I think that's great. With vispo, concrete po and asemics springing up as a result of Cheryl's bridge pieces, I wanted to make a plug for consideration of more traditional poems connected to the theme. But Digressions R Us & hey this is great whether bridges or towers. Hart Crane - "genius from Cleveland" - you shine on. "the broken world" - wow.
A tower just seems.... phallic... would we be playing into the hands of the patriarchy?
