𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄: "𝗔𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗮𝗹𝗹" 𝗯𝘆 𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗺 𝗧𝗲𝗲𝘁𝘀 -

Itinerant grittiness to poem after poem revealing speakers tormented by false theologies, swindling opportunistic politics, and violent despair.
And even then, a sometimes nuanced mythology and spirituality. It's beat poetry made anew.

I'm beat. And I'm a poet.
Just like Alan Ginsberg, don't you know it.

If spoken word #poetry without #rhyme or #meter is #beatpoetry, is #doggerel #woof poetry?

#beatpoetry

you are my bread
and the hairline
noise
of my bones
you are almost
the sea

you are not stone
or molten sound
I think
you have no hands

this kind of bird flies backward
and this love
breaks on a windowpane
where no light talks

this is not time
for crossing tongues
(the sand here
never shifts)

I think
tomorrow
turned you with his toe
and you will
shine
and shine
unspent and underground

(Diane di Prima)

If you, like many people, have always felt that what was missing in your life was a song that sounded like late-period Dire Straits singing about Jack Kerouac's French-Canadian roots, don't worry.

I got you.

Frozen
in the birdbath,
A leaf.
-Jack Kerouac (formatting is slightly off since I can’t indent the second line on mobile)

This is, to my mind, a wonderful #Haiku: terse, evocative, short. At eight syllables it’s “to short” but you can’t really add anything w/o ruining it.

OPEN MIKE NIGHT

Words fall off tongues
wagging in the heroin dark,
sliding serpentine
into semi-attentive ears
more concerned
with their own shadows.

Wrapped in warm, spotlight glow
and gray smoke shrouds,
muttered wisdom is given
to its captive audience
whose sentence is
a two drink minimum.

I think the problem with my poetry readings back in the nineties came down to my failure to provide a sassy jazz combo to accompany my hip observances.

For anyone who hasn't seen it and is open to having your mind bent a little (in a good way, I think), do yourself a favour and watch/listen to this:

I (virtually) guarantee you've never enjoyed having your 'hippy noodle' blown this much before.

"What I Did Last Summer in South Texas
(Part 1)"
written Sept. 28, 1997

Heat,
heat of the day,
heat of the yellow dripping sun
beats down in flaming tongues
licks the wet earth dry.
Sucks the soul from those alive
leaving languid, vital corpses
strolling haphazard
through shimmering
humidity; mean-
while men
black and white struggle
against heat and head off for
cooler paradise
in search of
nothing

I do not enjoy the #beatpoetry of #AllenGinsberg.

There, I said it.

One heck of a holiday gift! Immense gratitude to Pamela R. Anderson and Tinderbox Poetry Journal for a lovely review of my book, Rattle and Numb: Selected and New Poems, 1992-2019.

Bombay and the Beats: Bridging Two Cities Through Their Poets

Saranya Subramanian on the Links Between Two Movements

"Stepping outside my home, whether in Bombay or San Francisco, is like falling down a rabbit hole; there is always so much happening, so much movement and music."
