Gregory Corso: Ten Times a Poet returns in a striking new second edition from Roadside Press. Edited by Leon Horton and Michele McDannold, this tribute to one of the founding fathers of the Beat Generation features an all-new cover showcasing the iconic photography of Christopher Felver.
While the interior remains virtually unchanged—retaining its rich collection of memoir, poetry, biography, interviews, and literary criticism—the new edition reaffirms Corso’s enduring legacy as “a misunderstood street bard and visual artist,” as Douglas Field writes. It’s a celebration of the poet who risked everything to live and breathe his art.
Featuring contributions from Anne Waldman, Gerald Nicosia, Ed Sanders, Rosemary Manno, Neeli Cherkovski, Ron Whitehead, Kaye McDonough, Ryan Mathews, and many others, Ten Times a Poet is a literary and visual feast—tracing Corso’s path from his chaotic New York childhood to Clinton Prison, from Greece to Rome, from cradle to crypt.
