It’s the birthday today of two of our favorite, if disparate, American poets, Ted Berrigan and Marianne Moore
For Ted Berrigan on The Allen Ginsberg Project – see here, here and most recently here and here
and for Marianne Moore – see here, and here
For an illuminating note by Berrigan scholar, Nick Sturm on their one-time not-entirely-successful conjunction – see here
Happy Birthday Ted! (1934-1983) and Happy Birthday Marianne! (1887-1982). No doubt the two of you are up there “talking in tranquility”. We salute them both.
