Allen’s table. We’ve been contacted about Allen’s kitchen-table, historical hearth and meeting point, also setting for innumerable photos. Paul Seaton and Dorothy Shostak of Vermont now have it (legally!) in their possession and are looking to find it a home (either with an institution, or a private collector). “We would like to offer a percentage of any proceeds to Karmê Chöling and to a local community kitchen”, they write.
Contact them here for further details.
Here’s the first poster (just released this week) for Kill Your Darlings. The text/blurb at the top is from Entertainment Weekly – “An expressive, jazzy and ambitious movie, sexually alive and yearning. Daniel Radcliffe [Allen Ginsberg] is fearless and full of vitality. Dane DeHaan [Lucien Carr] is hot and dangerous.” Further (all – so far – positive) reviews can be seen here (at Rotten Tomatoes). Bob Rosenthal‘s wise dissenting opinion may be seen here. October 18 is release date.
An earlier, more sedate one (“Before he could become a great poet he had to live life” is the tag line) has also been circulating.
