Corso read this poem at New College in Oxford in 1958. Many members of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament were there, and they didn't appreciate Corso's humorous, ambivalent tone. He was heckled. Allen Ginsberg tried to explain what Corso was trying to express, and ended up calling the students a bunch of assholes.

I read an article from the online literary magazine, Empty Mirror. The article, Notes on Three Lost Poems by Gregory Corso, was about unpublished poetry by the Beat Poet, Gregory Corso, the youngest member of the Beat Poetry circle.

The idea of notes on lost poems got me thinking – what if all you had were fragments; the titles, brief notes of emotional/critical response to the poems, perhaps illustrations for each poem, and a few indiscernible or indecipherable lines. The three collage compositions are the result of this what if scenario.
