WSB [Paris] to Allen Ginsberg [New York] Dec 2, 1959 9 Rue Git Le Coeur Paris 6, France Dear Allen, I enclose material for Big Table.. Hope is not to too late.. So much work I never catch up and all absolutely urgent.. Brion’s [Gysin] work which I enclose illustrates new cut up method which he taught me.. I have met my first Master in Brion.. “Back Seat of Dreaming” is part of my current novel.. I have writ­ ten most of it remaining only the task of correlating material.. It is based on recent newspaper account of four? young explorers? who died of thirst in Egypt desert.. Just who died is uncertain since one member of the party has not been found yet dead or alive and the identity of the missing person is dubious owing to advanced state of decomposed when found the bodies and the methods of identi­ fication used lacked all precise techniques based entirely on docu­ ments on person but it seems the party was given to exchange of identifications just for jolly to wearing each others under and outer garments and even to writing in each others diaries an unheard of intimacy in any modern expedition.. So if my fictionalized??? account is difficult to follow so was the action, pops.. I am sending this material to you instead of direct to [Paul] Carroll so you can dig it.. I know you are busy but I think worth while pick up on this action now and I will explain method in detail when I see you also we have other project fore.. Temporary hitch.. My Old Lady [Burroughs’ mother] read the Life article and has thrown off her shop keeper weeds and revealed her hideous rank in Matriarch Inc.: “I Queen Bee Laura of Worth Avenue.. Stay out of my territory, punk..” She has, in fact, forbidden me to set foot in Palm Beach on pain of Orpheus.. And won’t send me money to come home.. I will buzz my Greek Uncle Gid [Maurice Girodias] and make it soon as possible.. Love Bill Will send more $ when I receive Mother Money. Please send mescaline if possible. Need transport out of the area. #herberthuncke #joannekyger #carolyncassady #jankerouac #pattismith #gregorycorso #dianediprima #williamburroughs #philipwhalen #gregorycorso #herberthuncke #jackkerouac #nealcassady #luannehenderson https://www.instagram.com/p/CYrQHI0M7h7eopoH05fNMlKT_0i1r-uqOv83ts0/?utm_medium=tumblr

Celebrating & remembering Carolyn Cassady who was born this day in Lansing MI, 1923. In a roundabout way, Carolyn was the reason Allen moved west to San Francisco, since she brought Neal with her, settling in Los Gatos, inducing Allen to follow. And within a few short years in the Bay Area, Allen wrote Howl, America, Sun Flower Sutra, & read with the Six Gallery poets and published his first collection of poetry. Carolyn was never terribly fond of Allen, took no pleasure in his affairs with Neal, but they remained life long friends.  Here pictured at Allen’s kitchen, table,  East 12th Street, NYC June 1993 (photo: Allen Ginsberg, courtesy Stanford University Libraries/Allen Ginsberg Estate)   #beatgeneration #carolyncassady #allenginsberg #nealcassady #beatgeneration #carolyncassady #allenginsberg #nealcassady #offtheroad #thegirlsbehindthescenes #beatniks #beatpoets #poetry #thefirstthird #jackkerouac #girlpower #womenofthebeatgeneration (at East Village) https://www.instagram.com/p/COOVMYSBMlI/?igshid=wqerjasi42nq
