In his strongly autobiographical novels,Jack Kerouac claims Lucien Carr was often around with wounded face because of his proverbial long tongue. Jack got worried and upset about it. "You know I am little and cannot defend myself." Lucien claimed. When Jack asked for the reason about it, Lucien just shrugged and said maybe it was his almond eyes' fault: they all took him for a foreigner,and they did not like foreigners. Of course, Jack did not believe to a word. #luciencarr #jackkerouac #PoeticDandies #Beatgeneration #happybirthdayluciencarr https://www.instagram.com/p/Caj_XWss_uS/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"When I first met him, I thought he was a little mischievous prick. I still think that." Jack Kerouac about his bestfriend Lucien Carr. #luciencarr #jackkerouac #Beatgeneration #PoeticDandies #happybirthdayluciencarr https://www.instagram.com/p/Caj-dTFsx0N/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Tomorrow is going to be Lucien Carr's birthday and I celebrate it like every year since the day I learnt about this fabulous character! Let's start saying people usually think Jack Kerouac's main muse was Neal Cassady,his bestfriend,the one leading with him in his "On the road". Yes and not. More not than yes. Jack Kerouac had not only a bestfriend,had not only a muse,had not only an home in San Francisco. When in New York, his bestfriend,his muse (he appears in like 9 novels of his,way more than the number in which Neal appears) his Angel,like he nicknamed him,was Lucien Carr. And actually,the whole Beat thing starts with Lucien Carr,and a murder too. But that's other story. If Lucien did not find a way to express himself artistically speaking, and decided soon,too soon maybe, to lead a more ordinary life getting a job and a family, we cannot not forget he was the man making to meet Jack Kerouac with Allen Ginsberg and William Burroughs,inspiring and encouraging them. He was Allen's youthful love interest,and was Jack's bestfriend (or possibly more) for a whole life. "I loved that man" He claimed when he died "I loved Jack,goddam it,and I never TOLD him!" Today we celebrate him and their special friendship,the one often underrated or hidden by many. Happy birthday to the man with the power to inspire characters to people. Not only Jack. But me too. #luciencarr #jackkerouac #Beatgeneration #PoeticDandies https://www.instagram.com/p/Cah9oC9MLPg/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Remembering Lucien Carr on his birthday, born St Louis, MO, March 1, 1925

Lucien Carr, my oldest friend from college days, had introduced me to Jack Kerouac after they’d met at the West End bar on 113 St. & Broadway, and connected Jack & me to his fellow St. Louis upper-middle-class (aristocrat we thought) confrére William S. Burroughs, late winter 1944. We lived down the hall from each other on 7th floor Union Theological Seminary, Columbia freshman dorm during W.W. II, I heard haunting Brahms Sextette music through his door, knocked, we met. Kerouac heard Old Angel Midnight eloquence in Lucien’s laconic “Celtic” intonations. Here four decades later, wise old dog Bureau Manager United Press International …. More eyes perused his wire-service prose than all Jack’’s & my texts, I’ll bet. Mach 3, 1985 (caption and photo: Allen Ginsberg, courtesy Allen Ginsberg Estate/ Stanford University Libraries)

... about a lesbian bar scene involving a woman biting another's ear, Lucien was telling this story and Burroughs said: “In the words of the immortal bard, 'tis too starved an argument for my sword.'”
