Rothenberg and Rosenthal

Monday April 21 – Remembering today the passing of two of Allen’s great Jewish confreres, Jerome Rothenberg and Irving Rosenthal. Jerry died on this day last year (has it really been that long?) and Irving, three years ago (the anniversary of his death is tomorrow).

Here’s our 2024 posting on Jerry

& here’s our 2020 posting on Irving Rosenthal

We also couldn’t resist re-posting Ira Cohen’s extraordinary photo of Irving (which we first posted here)

Here’s Jerry reading (an excerpt from “Vot Em I Doink Here?“, Colin Still‘s still-uncompleted Rothenberg documentary)
