if you haven't already, check out some poems by
frank o'hara. he was born in 1926 and died in 1966. most of his poems were written during his lunch breaks while working at the museum of modern art. he was friends with a lot of painters during his life, including
jackson pollock, whose art i am quite fond of. anywho, check him out. there's book we're reading called, "
the vintage book of contemporary american poetry", it's an introduction to a lot of america's finest poets. in reading it through the course of the class i have discovered some poets i enjoy. check out
allen ginsberg, he's interesting. wikipedia has a nice list of selected works for each of the poets i've linked to. scroll down on their pages. ginsberg's
howl continues to be a haunting work.

hahaha. know the doorstop rock i "painted" for you? well, when we put that program on Bob-o dropped in towards the end. it was while i was paiting the rock. He compared me to jackson pollock. pretty good sign that i could have a future as an artist, eh? haha.
oops. how'd i post twice? and how'd i manage to spell painting incorrectly?
