Long Live Man by Gregory Corso

"Gregory Corso’s an aphoristic poet, (commented Allen Ginsberg,) and a poet of ideas. What modern poets write with such terse clarity that their verses stick in the mind without effort?" My experience agrees with this. Gregory Corso was a great American poet and one of the best poets associated with the Beat movement. His work tends to be uneven, but his best poems are unforgettable classics. His 1962 collection Long Live Man is, I think, his best and most accessible. Unbelievably and shamefully it seems to be out of print, though available used from some book sellers.
