A friend of mine who has been "transient" for many years has semi-settled here and recently had his stuff, which has been in storage for about 20 years, shipped to my house. In reviewing his stuff we came across a treasure trove of paraphenalia from the Beat Poet, Gregory Corso.
Apparently this man was a good friend of Corso in the 70's and 80's and collected some great stuff. We catalogued it yesterday and he has about 20 personal letters, cards etc. between Corso and Ginsberg, Burroughs and Kerouac. Many are very funny and even discuss the concept of the "Beat" generation and the 1968 Democratic Convention.
He also has about 10 original poems, some unpublished, and about a dozen original drawings. One of the poems is a major, unpublished work about 9 pages in length. It includes 4 drafts and 3 original and associated drawings.
This is quite a collection! We are heading to San Francisco this week to meet with a major auction house about the potential sale of these items. We're also going to be staying with his longtime friends from that era and seeing the sites. Should be an amazing trip.
