Jack Kerouac , The Art of Fiction No. 41
Jack Kerouac, ca. 1956. Photograph by Tom Palumbo Jack Kerouac is now forty-five years old. His thirteenth novel, Vanity of Duluoz, was published earlier this year. He lives with his wife of one year, Stella, and his invalid mother in a brick ranch-style house in a residential district of Lowell, Massachusetts, the city in which he spent all of his childhood. The Kerouacs have no telephone. Ted Berrigan had contacted Kerouac some months earlier and had persuaded him to do the interview.
Jack Kerouac, The Art of Fiction No. 41
Interviewed by Ted Berrigan Jack Kerouac, ca. 1956. Photograph by Tom Palumbo The Kerouacs have no telephone.

When he felt the time had come for their meeting to take place, he simply showed up at the Kerouacs’s house. Two friends, poets Aram Saroyan and Duncan McNaughton, accompanied him. Kerouac answered his ring; Berrigan quickly told him his name and the visit’s purpose.

Dale Martin Smith “Notes On Paradise”
Poet Peter Gizzi writes of Dale’s book: “The momentum of this capacious book-length sequence keeps turning outward as it investigates an inward subjectivity, not all together Dale Smith per se, but maybe a collective interiority where we find, ‘Dead things collect in words.’ And more importantly we discover ‘There will be love as memory.” An April 7, 2020, obituary for John Prine who died of Covid-19, reported that the songwriter loved telling stories about his work, but often with some...
Jack Kerouac, The Art of Fiction No. 41
The critic Fredric Jameson died at the age of ninety on September 22, 2024, a little more than a year after the first of the three conversations that form the basis of the text below. In spite of Jameson’s years, the news came as something of a shock, given the productivity he kept up into his tenth decade.

Paris Review - Anti-war Poem
In early March of 2021, Louise Glück visited Claremont McKenna College in Southern California, where I teach. Because of COVID, she was afraid to fly on a small plane to our regional airport, so I drove her myself from Berkeley, where, for some years, she rented a house during the winters.
44th Birthday Evening, at Harris’s
Nine stories high Second Avenue On the roof there’s a party All the friends are there watching By the light of the moon the blazing sun Go down over the side of the planet To light up the underside of Earth There are long bent telescopes for the friends To watch this through. The friends are all in shadow. I can see them from my bed inside my head. 44 years I’ve loved these dreams today. 17 years since I wrote for the first time a poem On my birthday, why did I wait so long?
Things To Do On Speed by Ted Berrigan
mind clicks into gear & fingers clatter over the keyboard as intricate insights stream out of your head; this goes on for ten hours: then, take a break: clean all desk drawers, arrange all pens & pencils in precise parallel patterns; stack all books with exactitude in one pile to coincide perfectly with the right angle of the desk's corner. Whistle thru ten more hours of arcane insights: drink a quart of ice-cold pepsi: clean the ice-box: pass out for ten solid hours interesting dreams. 2.

Joe Brainard: A Box of Hearts and Other Works Tibor De Nagy Through December 3, 2022 By SUCHI J PRITCHARD, November 2022 Unfortunately the title of this show conveys most of what I want to say. But I guess I’ll add to the list. I choose the word ‘list’ here more carefully than perhaps my tone conveys. Joe Brainard, I first read, and then encountered their paintings, drawings and collage.

Still Moving by Daniel Nester
To say that Poetry in Motion, Ron Mann’s 1982 documentary, is the greatest poetry documentary of all time doesn’t really quite give the film its due. Thirty years on, the film still holds up as an anthology and time capsule, one that’s on a par with or even surpasses its print inspiration, Donald Allen’s New American Poetry: 1945-1960.

CHINESE NIGHTINGALE BY TED BERRIGAN
We are involved in a transpersonified state Revolution, which is turning yourself around I am asleep next to 'The Hulk'. 'The Hulk' often sleeps While I am awake & vice-versa. Life is less than ideal For a monkey in love with a nymphomaniac! God is fired! Do I need the moon to remain free? To explode softly In a halo of moon rays? Do I need to be On my human feet, straight, talking, free Will sleep cure the deaf-mute's heartbreak? Am I In my own way, America? Rolling downhill, & away?
