Greogory Corso is along with Bob Kaufmann the most unjustly neglected of the beat poets, though Allen Ginsberg called him the greatest poet of his time. I heard him read once and I still have somewhere a book he autographed for me, though I doubt it's worth much as a collectible, especially since it isn't in mint condition. "I held a Shelley manuscript" reminds me of the feeling I got once at an antiquarian book fair when I held a copy of T. S. Eliot's Selected Poems with Dylan Thomas's signature on the fly leaf. I wish I could have bought it, but it cost about three times my then annual income. I bet it would have been a good investment though. -- =================================== Jon Corelis www.geocities.com/joncpoetics/ ===================================
