On March 18, 1966, at his Peace Eye Bookstore on the Lower East Side of New York City, Ed Sanders reads from his "Elm Fuck Poem" and speaks with filmmaker Richard O. Moore on obscenity and censorship. Sanders is filmed at a rehearsal (the band riffing on "Ghost Riders in the Sky") with Lee Crabtree (keyboard) and Ken Weaver (drums) of The Fugs.

i like where he comments 'coets' instead of poets, but just carries on full flight- this is a sign of literary 'moxie'. Miles Davis / Zappa did the same in music- there was no messed up note in their jams.
Thank you, I've been looking for a good revolutionary poetry sample for my music :)
Indeed! An exquisite poet. This is my least favorite reciting style, even when done by the greats such as Dylan Thomas. I prefer a soft style. I love listening to Wallace Stevens. Have you heard the recorded snippet of Lord Alfred reciting Light Brigade? That is epic incantation!
She is wonderful. 🩵
Hard
The Blues of Things Unseen ❤
I skipped a final that day and instead chose to do something far more important, listen to the extraordinary poet, Nikki Giovanni. One of the best decisions I made.
What a terrible reader, no inspiration whatsoever, boring monotone, the poetry might be OK but I only lasted four minutes into this recital.
LEGEND
She's a genius, no doubt, but the droning incantatory 'poetry voice' is a bit much.
I noticed many poets are pretty bad at reading their poetry. It's a different talent, I guess. The thing is- nobody is willing to tell you you're a bad reader. I did read my poetry 3 times when I was pretty young, somewhere between 19 and early twenties. I think I would have been more scared now to do it, 20 years later. I started writing poetry again 4 years ago and the idea of reading in front of people freaks me out. I suppose most poets don't like public readings as many are introverts and shy but they feel obliged to do it to promote their poetry.
Love him! Love his nervous energy, which is endearing, real, and and 100 times more genuine than today's batch of spoken word panderers and clicheists.
Thank you for this.
Another undiscovered (by me) gem!!! - she was doing this while I was in Tooele, Utah raising my daughter on my own, dating the second man I would divorce. Thank you for this!!
Thank you so much for posting this.
Thank you for this
The old LRS comrades were such inspiring speakers, a shame the League dissolved and they scattered.
Very nice.
Interesting.
Da va som fan!❤
OH MY GOD TILLIE OLSEN I'M SUCH A FAN GIRL
I’m hard-pressed to think of a more disgusting human being.
The soul of the artist is lost. Because everyone wants a piece of it or peace from it.
Allen Ginsberg, the famous pedo poet and NAMBLA member, disgusting!!!
Noodle Buddha. SF/
dont think this loser has ever said anything of value in his life
Kerouac was and remains the better writer.
wow.
thanks for the tip
It would help if the page to which the Poetry Center Archive botton here links, as well as the page that comes up searching the Center on Google, were grossly obvious and clear about linking to the complete index of the archive, as well as excerpts, favorites, etc., and about the contents of each. A page listing all the poets represented in alphabetical order would be useful. The present general archive appears to present in random order, which facilitates nothing. User friendly is a fundamental consideration. As it is, it's quite difficult to get a handle on what the archive contains, and, when looking at the excerpts presented prominently, that they are excerpts and how to access complete versions. A user shouldn't have to squint for small print to find the way around the basics.
@@jimpowell6789 thanks Jim. there are alphabeitical indexes at the bottom of the Poetry Center Digital Archive page diva.sfsu.edu/collections/poetrycenter, but an indication that they are there at the top of that page could be helpful
The sister's words are hypnotizing.
I met Jack over 30 years ago. “A saxophone wails”
lgbtq has always been the foundation of the family and civilization
Are you high?
The gays and the pedohiles love this resentful flippant presentation. Unbelievably short sighted with respect to the Malthusian perspective on reproduction. It's a shame homosexuality was seen as a mental illness and gays were imprisoned, but the resentfulness this engendered makes all of them horrible people when given power. Such is that legacy that we are burdened with now.
From a guy who preyed on very, very young boys (his reason for living so long in Morocco) for years, this is quite a novelty.
Ha ha🧿
I see Burroughs was unable to recognize his own Pauline Apologetics at work. Human monogamy is indicated in fossil records that far predate any scriptures. To imply that Christianity is fundamental to this framework sounds like something straight out of Paul's mouth.
I like it very much
what the fuck is this shit
Oh, it's beautiful, talking about the delicate jockey....
Fabulous
Wanna hear Covid poems
Thank you!
Great poem.
This Gentle man, was one of our most articulate poets As a nation, and i argue,( i had to correct the spell checker twice to confirm "lower case" i's, (un-paranthesized), was the Abraham of Rap.
Hell yeah
This is "Le voyage sans fin" not "Virgile, non"
Ah! thank you. Correction made (the historic cataloging notes said Virgile, non - though you are very right. Grateful for you catching this!
Such an amazing / underrated poet
This is clearly the best channel on UA-cam. The Fresno State MFA channel has been uploading some good stuff recently too

A great reading of "Nothing Breaks Off At The Edge." I grew up near Los Angeles, and I remember discovering Holly Prado's wonderful poetry in the early 80's. There were poetry readings at a tiny counter-culture bookstore called Papa Bach's Books, right across from the NuArt theater in West Los Angeles. She wrote some truly great poetry, and I was sad when she died. She will be missed.
Beautiful 💕
The only great "beat" poet. Motherfucker could write.
The stone and the feather of feeling! what a master of emotion, history, society and cognition. Genius
