[Lawrence Ferlinghetti and Allen Ginsberg]
Next week (next Tuesday) Bob Dylan's new (Frank Sinatra-inspired) album comes out, Shadows In The Night.
Here, here, here and here are some early reviews
and another one here
His recent interview for AARP (American Association of Retired Persons - sic), "his first interview in nearly three years", where he discusses the disc (and his feelings about aging), may be accessed here
The lyrics (none Dylan's own), thoughtfully transcribed, are here
Here's a rather frenzied presentation of Allen's "Cosmopolitan Greetings" (the title-poem of his 1995 book), to the soundtrack of the French electronica group,Air (Amour Imagination Rêve). ("Alpha Beta Gaga")
Speaking of John Wieners (as we were the other week) - essential reading - A selection of his letters and poems to his friend (and sometime Black Mountain mate) Michael Rumaker were recently made available by Ben Mazer's The Battersea Review
