Larry-bob<p>I checked out Material Wealth: Mining the Personal Archive of <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/AllenGinsberg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AllenGinsberg</span></a> from the SF Public <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Library" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Library</span></a> (from the Park Branch in the Haight.) it is a selection of items from the Ginsberg papers at Stanford University. It is arranged chronologically and is a collection of photos, ephemera, letters, flyers. There are also some short essays such as a chapter titled 1965 about Ginsberg, <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Dylan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Dylan</span></a>, <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/JerryRubin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JerryRubin</span></a> and the Hells Angels. There is also a four-page essay on the Chicago 1968 events with quotes from Jerry Rubin, <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/JimFouratt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JimFouratt</span></a>, and Ginsburg’s 1969 Playboy interview. Editor Pat Thomas is particularly interested in Ginsberg’s musical recordings (and has been involved in reissues of some of them) and closes the book with a chapter titled Music Recordings.</p><p>I like this sort of annotated ephemera book (see also <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/NewDirections" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NewDirections</span></a> publisher <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/JamesLaughlin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JamesLaughlin</span></a>’s “The Way It Wasn’t: From the Files of James Laughlin.”)</p><p>By the way, copies of my zine are in Ginsberg’s papers at Stanford but they didn’t make it into this book.</p>
