INTRODUCTION Critics cite Corso, in conjunction with Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac, as an essential founding member of the American Beat movement of the 1950s and 1960s. Corso's poetry reiterates the basic tenet of the movement: rejection of the established social order in favor of experimentation. Although Corso has not been a prolific writer, his poetry has increasingly been heralded by critics and the public, particularly his works Happy Birthday of Death (1960) and Long Live Man (1962). Building on personal experiences garnered as a result of his rough background and lack of formal education, Corso explores the meaning of life and death, employing a subtle humor and an element of fantasy. Through interviews with the popular press, Corso became a representative of the Beat movement to the American public, creating an avant-garde, anti-establishment, rebel persona. In addition to his poetry, Corso has written a novel and numerous plays. Biographical Information The Vestal Lady on Brattle and Other Poems . Through his ongoing friendship with Ginsberg, Corso was introduced to other members of the Beat movement, among them Jack Kerouac and Williams S. Burroughs. After his first book of poetry failed to attract critical attention, Corso traveled, spending much of his time in Europe and relying on Ginsberg to see that his writing was published. Ginsberg arranged for the publication of Corso's second volume

Januar in Robbinsdale Minnesota ) war US-amerikanischer Dichter und eines der wichtigen Mitglieder der Beat Generation Corsos Eltern, italienische Einwanderer, waren bei seiner Geburt beide erst 17 und 16 Jahre alt. Ein Jahr sp¤ter verlieŸ seine Mutter die Familie, um nach Italien zur¼ckzukehren. Dadurch musste Corso den GroŸteil seiner Kindheit in Waisenh¤usern und bei Pflegefamilien verbringen. Sein Vater heiratete ein zweites Mal, als Corso elf war, und der Junge konnte bei ihm bleiben, jedoch riss er oft aus. Auch von einem Kinderheim rannte er weg. In seiner wechselvollen Jugend verbrachte er f¼r den Diebstahl eines Radios einige Monate im Tombs Prison in New York und im Bellevue Hospital Center zur Beobachtung. Mit 16 wurde er zu drei Jahren im Clinton State Prision in Upstate New York verurteilt. W¤hrend dieser Haftzeit begann er Literatur zu lesen, vor allem wurde er ein derart groŸer Bewunderer des unkonventionellen und sprachlich hervorragenden Dichters Percy Bysshe Shelley , dass er bei einem sp¤teren Besuch in Oxford dessen ehemaliges Studentenzimmer besuchte und den Boden k¼sste, auf dem Shelly gegangen war. Corso besch¤ftigte sich auch mit griechischer Mythologie, Philosophie und Geschichte. Er begann in Haft auch erste eigene Gedichte zu verfassen.

Gregory Corso Born: March 26, 1930 Place of Birth: New York City BIRTHPLACE REVISITED - CORSO POEM Texts from Levi Asher Literary Kicks Gregory Corso, the only major Beat writer to have the forethought to actually be born on Bleecker Street in Greenwich Village , was sent to prison on a robbery charge at the age of 16. He probably would not have made poetry his life's work if he had not met Allen Ginsberg in a Greenwich Village Bar when he was 20. Ginsberg was impressed by the poetry Corso had written in prison and alerted others to his talent. Corso's first poems were published in 1955. He went on to become one of the most well-known and widely-read Beat poets. He has an anarchic style similar to Ginsberg's, though his favorite poet is Shelley, a Romantic poet who was much too flowery for most Beats. He does not write with Ginsberg's massive intelligence or protean poetic power, but then who does? He once wrote a love-poem to atomic weapons, 'BOMB ', in the shape of a mushroom cloud.

"I would say that he was very gifted, also undisciplined, which is part of the beauty of Beat writing," said Maria Damon, an English professor at the University of Minnesota who once studied under Corso. "He was very well-read but not from formal schooling. He put things together in a highly romanticized way." Corso died Wednesday after a battle with prostate cancer. He was 70. He passed away at the Minneapolis home of his daughter, Sheri Langerman, who announced the death on Thursday.

EDITORIAL Whoops, There Goes Another Rubber Tree Plant! A Remembrance By Cat DeLeon A light went out on January 18th, 2001. You may not realize this, but the essence of rock n' roll, the Grand Daddy-O of rebellion, the little Lucifer who made a mockery of convention, left us to travel the ultimate road, and be-bop forever in the land of kicks. The last of the original Beat Daddies, the youngest of the Big Four New York Beats (Kerouac, Ginsburg, Burroughs and Corso), Gregory Corso died from prostate cancer in Minnesota at the age of 70. Corso had the lowest profile of the four but was actually the living embodiment of all that was professed by the Beat Generation and would later transmute into true rock and roll sensibility. Upon his release from prison, Corso met Allen Ginsburg in a Greenwich Village tavern, showed him his poems, and was recognized as a talent to reckon with. Ginsburg may have coasted after "Howl" and perpetuated his career as a hanger-on and political figure head, but one thing I do give him credit for is turning Corso on to surrealism and language play and introducing Corso to the esteemed Columbia University Professor and Pulitzer Prize winning poet, Mark Van Doren (father of the quiz show scandal contestant Charles Van Doren) who was an advocate for Corso and helped him become published by the age of 20.

18. Gregory Corso, 1930-2001 By Robert Creely Article by Robert Creeley on corso s death, January 17, 2001. http://epc.buffalo.edu/authors/creeley/corso.html

Gregory Corso, 1930-2001 by Robert Creeley Gregory Corso died last night (January 17), happily in his sleep in Minnesota. He had been ill for much of the past year but had recovered from time to time, saying that he'd got to the classic river but lacked the coin for Charon to carry him over. So he just dipped his toes in the water. In this time his daughter Sherry, a nurse, had been a godsend to him, securing him, steadying the ambiance, just minding the store with great love and clarity. He thought she should get Nurse of the Year recognition at the very least. There's no simple generalization to make of Gregory's life or poetry. There are all too many ways to displace the extraordinary presence and authority he was fact of. Last time we talked, he made the useful point that only a poet could say he or she was a poet only they knew. Whereas a philosopher, for instance, needed some other to say that that was what he or she was un(e) philosophe! poets themselves had to recognize and initiate their own condition. There are several quick websites that help recall him now. One gives a brief biography and discussion of a few of his poems:
