Off BEAT HOMAGE TO INSURGENT POET LAWRENCE FERLINGHETTI on his 90th birthday inspired by, Poetry as an insurgent art, a recent Ferlinghetti poem. "The hour of om-ing is over, the time for keening is come" Ferlinghetti identifies his work as open field poetry not beat poetry. Some beat poets may have written open field poetry but without knowing it (Allen Ginsberg, Gregory Corso, Neal Cassady and jack Kerouac). This 4 minute video satire mocks popular misconceptions about the beat generation, operation mockingbird, false Muslim attacks and the unutterable sighs of the heart knocking on the door of the unknown. Other targets include; New York Times fiction writers Frank Rich and Judith Miller and Shakespeare's bitch, Lawrence Ferlinghetti. From Wikipedia: Ferlinghetti was in attendance at the now-famous Six Gallery reading where Ginsberg first performed Howl publicly. The next day Ferlinghetti contacted Ginsberg: "I greet you at the beginning of a great literary career," subsequently offering to publish his work. The book was seized in 1956 by the San Francisco police. Ferlinghetti and Shig Murao, the bookstore manager who had sold the book to the police, were arrested on obscenity charges.
