• "John Wieners, tragic American poet, Christine's Restaurant, First Avenue & 12th Street, New York City, November 1985. We'd met three decades earlier at Cedar Bar(sic), New York -- Robert Creeley & Frank O'Hara both admired his gift then, Hotel Wentley Poems were published that decade -- but none of his books were in print at time of this visit." (photo & caption: Allen Ginsberg) • John Wieners was born this day in Milton, MA, a Boston suburb, in 1934. He would have been 86. • #johnwieners #hotelwentley #robertcreeley #frankohara #cedartavern #queerpoetry #allenginsberg #poetry #poetsofinstagram #queer #gay #bookstagram #counterculture #fagrag #fuckyoumagazine #arts (at East Village, Manhattan) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6_miWUBuft/?igshid=2xyjljdlaw75
