absolutely amazing work and art!

Ron Mueck is a London-based photo-realist artist. Born in Melbourne, Australia, to parents who were toy makers, he labored on children’s television shows for 15 years before working in special effects for such films as “Labyrinth,” a 1986 fantasy epic starring David Bowie. In the early 1990s Mueck was commissioned to make something highly realistic, and was wondering what material would do the trick. Latex was the usual, but he wanted something harder, more precise. Luckily, he saw a little architectural decor on the wall of a boutique and inquired as to the nice, pink stuff’s nature. Fiberglass resin was the answer, and Mueck has made it his bronze and marble ever since.

The Allen Ginsberg Project - Revive a Poet - Tom Hood

GC: Okay, now I’d like to revive a poet. Remember I gave you Tom Hood, the other day, right? Tom Hood - why I think he should be looked at in a kind of way where you might look at other poets that you’ve never checked out…
“Indeed, it is preferable to think of him as a poet who is more interested in the social ills of his time than in mere clowning..” - I think that’s why you’ve got to check out Hood - “..He is actually a kind of transition figure to the Victorian period. His “Bridge of Sighs” and “Song of the Shirt”are to be considered social documents rather than great or even good poetry”

Audio for this (including Gregory (Corso)’s reading of Hood) can be heard at http://www.archive.org/details/Allen_Ginsberg_class_The_history_of_poetry_part_3_June_1975_75P004

me!me! says - sometimes poetry should be about more than flowing lyricism or epic tales and dreams, sometimes it should be about the things that make us real, even if that doesn’t always make for great poetry on a classic scale in some ways that makes for great poetry on a moral scale.
