Long Live Man [Paperback]

In terms of language Corso always seems to me the most interesting of the Beats...extracting all the power from standard syntax and rhetoric, maintaining the Beat anti-academicism...Put this together with the experimentalism and relevance of the Beat outlook, and you have poetry that not only shares our experience but creates it.Gregory Corso's an aphoristic poet, and a poet of ideas. What modern poets write with such terse clarity that their verses stick in the mind without effort?A book of poems by a renowned member of the Beat Generation's inner circle.
