Funnily enough, I was reading about Ginsberg's "American sentences" (17 syllable poems) only the other day, and I'd never come across them, either.Dominic Rivronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02618013365521035400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8881054030497725613.post-16928860783398505722009-02-09T09:16:00.000+01:002009-02-09T09:16:00.000+01:00Weaver, Hope your hands are now warm again.

I've read quite a bit of Spender, including a very good book about his pre-war time in Germany.Gwil Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03305768121713053837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8881054030497725613.post-73725721258742048822009-02-08T16:05:00.000+01:002009-02-08T16:05:00.000+01:00Do you have access to The Times?

There are some lovely translations - but not a patch on yours in my opinion. Hope you can get hold of a copy.<BR/>Thanks for the Jack Kerouac link - love his stuff anyway. Shall visit when my hands warm up a bit - have been blogging in the chilly hall way for half an hour and am frozen, so off for a cup of tea. Wish you could join me - I am sure we would have interesting conversations.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8881054030497725613.post-44733449631093145042009-02-07T20:23:00.000+01:002009-02-07T20:23:00.000+01:00Entering "Jack Kerouac" in the PiR search box will...Entering "Jack Kerouac" in the PiR search box will bring up an interesting piece titled Haikuing Around With Jack Kerouac.
