This is a wonderful moment of an important and highly underrated poet who was a core component of the Beat Movement. It would be best if you could keep the salty language in, however, if you need to edit it out (or cover it with a bleep) the piece will not lose its power. It would work beautifully in a larger segment piece about the Beat Poets. There is a sense of privilege in being able to hear Corso's voice intone, "They're waiting for me to die.." considering his terminal illness a few years ago. I can't say enough good things about this piece. Thank you Naropa for posting this!
