Sometime since we noted great Ginsberg parodies - Remember Yelp? and Tweet? - even "Peter LaBarbera" (!) - Filip Noterdaemehas taken it one stage further, not just revisiting 'Howl" (the opening poem) but that entire book! - Growl and Other Poems will be published by Lit Fest Press in the Spring of 2016. Meanwhile, here's the opening salvo - "Growl" (and Noterdaeme on the thinking behind it)

Clark Coolidge begins teaching Ginsberg at Naropa next week (as part of the Summer Writing Program) - and, as Thurston Moorepoints out, he too - "My class will focus on Allen's work vis a vis his recordings and his relationship and inspiration to recording artists ((Bob) Dylan,Patti (Smith) and all). Clark and I will join forces with our classes on the last day"
Clark Coolidge and Thurston Moore may be viewed in performance together - here
