yesterday I finishd reviewing the literature section of my book collection -- deciding what to keep what to sell what to donate.
in my copy of May Swenson's To Mix With Time I found this notation from that fabled summer at Wagner College:
on 8 July 63 poetry panel (Staten Is.) w. Kenneth Koch (moderator), Corso, X J Kennedy, Le Roi Jones, Gerard Malanga, Robt. Kelly, Ruth Krauss, Paul Goodman. not memorable. Kennedy summed it up to Corso: "I don't think it was worth very much." Arnold Weinstein added his reason 4 nothing happening: "There was no booze."
Weinstein -- best rememberd as librettist to William Bolcom -- caused a bit of a scandal at the writers conference by urinating in public on campus.
strangely I left Swenson's name off the list of participants -- probably because I was writing it in her book so presumed I'd always remember that.
