Van Gogh's Ear 3
Click here for the review by Mark Terrill
Volume three of Van Gogh's Ear is a groundbreaking collection of poems from five continents celebrating the erotic spirit in all of its forms. From the passion of sexual desire to the intense longing for spiritual union, this extraordinary bon voyage turns each page of Van Gogh's Ear 3 into an exciting discovery. Among the many memorable works included are "And Have You Been Forgotten", a far-reaching poem by one of the most challenging and engaging radical female poets at work today, Alice Notley; "Holy Drag", by John Rechy, dares peek into the sacristy during changing time for a high Mass presided over by the Cardinal in Rome; Carolyn Cassady's controversial letter on poetry; "If This is Love" and "Hako" are imaginative, piercing poems by Yoko Ono that appear with two of her intimate Franklin Summer drawings. Other impressive drawings, one by Allen Ginsberg, are also included in this landmark anthology.
