Poet's Apprentice: Book Two: At the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics March-December 1980

by Randy Roark

The second in a series of collections focused on the curriculum of the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics, in Boulder, Colorado from March-December 1980. In residence during that time, Allen Ginsberg taught Basic Poetics, Poetic Measures, a writing workshop, and two classes on Shakespeare's "The Tempest." Philip Whalen taught Lew Welch, Hart Crane, and Wallace Stevens, and Shakespeare's "Pericles"; Anne Waldman taught "Troilus and Cressida"; William Burroughs gave a public address and Anselm Hollo gave a class on translation. The text includes notes from the classes and schoolwork along with entries outside of school life, including his work in the emergency room and his home life at the time. Includes illustrations and research material as well as a full index.
