Nightly Dose of Ginsberg
After 24 years, the video of Allen Ginsberg's legendary appearance
at Loyola University New Orleans is now online. The overflow crowd
filled up all the aisles and the outside lobby, so he invited audience
members to sit on the stage with him. He also did a meditation workshop,
and his Collected Poems had just appeared so he spent a whole afternoon
signing copies and illustrating each with a drawing. Thanks to Alyce
Santoro for helping make this video available. Thanks to Andrei Codrescu
for encouraging Allen to come. And above all, we remember with
gratitude Allen Ginsberg for his genius and generosity.
