    Allen was one of my heroes. I got to see him read a couple times and it was quite a thrill.
    He read Howl, Whichita Vortex Sutra and Wales Visitation, which he had just written and was yet to be published.

    WTF, there is nothing obscene in it except what the authorities did. It's a poem about love in the time of oppression!

      Who let themselves be fucked In the ass by saintly motorcyclists and screamed with joy, who blew and were blown by those human seraphim, the sailors, caresses of Atlantic and Caribbean love.
