"Allen Ginsberg live in London" is a DVD film of Beat poet Allen Ginsberg reading his great poetry live on stage, in London from October 19 1995. The great Beat poet and cultural icon read his material from the 1970's White Shroud era to 80's Cosmopolitan Greetings and 90's new and unpublished poems in a poetry reading lasting 53 minutes. He appeared in Heaven nightclub on a large stage with UK poet Tom Pickard turning pages. He read a wide repertioire of his work with great energy and passion to an audience of about 1000 people. Classic poems included 'Hum Bom!', 'Put down your cigarette rag' 'Elephant in the meditation hall' and American Sentences. He also performed a Tibetan meditation, as well as a sung version of 'New stanzas for Amazing Grace'. The venue was dressed in psychedelic backdrops and theatrical lighting lit the stage. The performance was awesome. Ginsberg ended with the song 'The Nurse's Song' (by William Blake) until the whole audience was singing 'And all the hills echoed'. The reading ended with a standing ovation.

HOMEWORK
Hommage Kenneth Koch
If I were doing my Laundry I"d wash my dirty Iran
I"d throw in my United States, and pour on the Ivory soap, scrub up Africa,
put all the birds and elephants back in the jungle,
I"d wash the Amazon river and clean the oily Carib & Gulf of Mexico,
Rub that smog off the North Pole, wipe up all the pipelines in Alaska,
Rub a dub dub for Rocky Flats and Los Alamos, Flush that sparkly Cesium
out of Love Canal
Rinse down the Acid Rain over the Parthenon & Sphinx, Drain Sludge out
of the Mediterranean basin and make it azure again,
Put some blueing back into the sky over the Rhine, bleach the little Clouds
so snow return white as snow,
Cleanse the Hudson Thames & Neckar, Drain the Suds out of Lake Erie
Then I"d throw big Asia in one giant Load & wash out the blood & Agent
Orange,
Dump the whole mess of Russia and China in the wringer, squeeze out the
tattletail Gray of U.S. Central American police state,
& put the planet in the drier & let it sit 20 minutes or an Aeon till it
came
out clean.
