"You killed him...", March 11, 2011
This review is from: Poetry Readings in the Cellar (Audio CD)
I first heard this on an LP found in a cut-out bin. Rexroth's "Thou Shalt Not Kill" is the reason to get this, especially for the harrowing ending: "You kiled him; you killed him; in your G-d damned Brooks Brothers suit, you son-of-a-bitch!"
This poem was a big influence on Allen Ginsberg, whose poem "Howl" used Rexroth's poem as its model.
