Synopsis

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? Certainly Yeats, Pound, Williams, Elliot, Kerouac, Creeley, Dylan & Corso have that quality. Corso's handling of ideas is unique, as in various one-word title poems...--Excerpted from the Foreward by Alan Ginsberg
