3.0 out of 5 stars Visionary, evocative yet slightly self-absorbed, August 10, 2002

By	C. L. Mount (Hammond, Louisiana United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Herald of the Autochthonic Spirit (Paperback)

Gregory Corso is one of the lesser known original Beat poets. His poetry commands just as much attention as his more popular peers Ginsberg and Kerouac. This collection is from the mid-70's and the pieces are, granted, emotive, visionary, acutely real but also obscure like only a Beat could be. Corso does have a clever lyrical gift and the ability to inspire despite his elitist tendencies. Personally, i suggest it as an afternoon read.
