Poem For Ginsberg in Georgian

Ginsberg for the Georgians
Our good friend and Georgian Agent Provocateur – Zaza Koshkadze – translated a my long-ish poem which was part of the “Starry Rhymes” Anthology. If you would like to have a look at what Ryan looks Like in Georgian — go to HERE.
For my work and many others in full, bleeding English:
Starry Rhymes: 85 Years of Allen Ginsberg
My poem, indebted to Allen Ginsberg’s ‘America‘ (when will you send you eggs to India?), appears alongside many fine others in Read This Press’ limited edition chapbook. It is a great pleasure to be among so many international writers and friends celebrating one of my favourite influences. I should name some of the brilliant poets in this collection but then I would have to name them all. So, I’ll just say — buy the book. It looks great and the word on the street is — If you dig Allen, you’ll dig this. Go here and look for Allen’s face. He’ll sort you out.
