Sull'Autore
In 1957, Allen Ginsberg wrote of Corso, "He's probably the greatest poet in America, and he's starving in Europe." Corso's themes are death and beauty, always in American terms. Virtually an orphan, Corso was born on Bleecker Street in New York's Greenwich Village. He spent his childhood and youth mostra altro in and out of foster homes. During his numerous prison terms, he was introduced to literature by a fellow convict. On his release, he met Ginsberg, who immediately recognized his talent and helped him.

I especially enjoyed Corso's geopolitical views via "The American Way" (which foresees the rise of Evangelism and the decline of USA in general) -- and, in the same vein, "America Politica Historia, In Spontaneity". Other highlights include "Work" from "Triptych: Friend, Work, World", and the Egyptology-inspired drawings of "The Geometric Poem". "The Geometric Poem" appears in Corso's handwritten script and is often barely legible -- ultimately, I prefer the scribblings of "The Geometric Poem" over the text -- those drawings remind me of the album jacket liner artwork of the Jefferson Airplane's 1967 psychedelic masterpiece, "After Bathing at Baxer's". I'm giving this collection 5 stars because although I did not love the text unconditionally or unanimously -- what I did enjoy, which was the bulk of it, I found to be superlative. In closing -- I'm happy to have run across "Elegiac Feelings American", and I look forward to reading more of Corso's work.… (altro)
