The Poetry Archive
Tuesday, April 15th, 2008
The Poetry Archive is a collection of poets reading their own work.
Check out Allen Ginsberg reading “America.”
I’m a stenographer of my mind. I write down what passes through it, not what goes on around me. I’m a poet.” – Allen Ginsberg
My only complaint is that RealPlayer is the only way to use this site.
Given that the PBS show American Experience was on Walt Whitman last night this seems fitting. Too bad there are no recordings of him reading.

Hi
I am writing a study for my degree, and want to include the stenographer quotation. Do you know where it comes from, as I will be unable to use it unless I can fully reference it!
Please reply soon on the email address supplied, or

Thanks very much.

Katie: I’m not sure how to respond. The quotation come from Allen Ginsberg (as clearly stated above), the exact book source you’ll have to look up.
