207 BEAT LEGENDS SERIES

Michael McClure: Beat Legend

Michael McClure: Original, elegant, mystical. Smooth as silk and green way before the first national ecological wave. The personable Beat bard recites scintillating poems and reminisces at New York's famed Bowery Poetry Club.

Performing solo he offers socially-charged visions, as in Ode to Jackson Pollock and Cold Saturday Mad Sonnet (for Allen Ginsberg), and more.

Enter the legendary David Amram Trio to collaborate on  McClure's Dharma Devotions, What the Baby Boy Sees, To Give Is the White Hand with the Long Fingers, Dark Contemplation and The Only War that Matters Is the War Against the Imagination.

2004, 45 min, Bowery Poetry Club
