TITLE		Canoeing Up Cabarga Creek- Buddhist poems
AUTHOR		WHALEN, Philip, intro GINSBERG, Allen
DESCRIPTION		A selection of the more 'Buddhist' poems.As Leslie Scalapino says, Whalen (the only Beat we really like at Dark Horsey) was the most formally radical of the Beats, “akin to Gertrude Stein in being nonrepresentational, realistic in that his writing is phenomenological rather than visionary.” Whalen is also the least didactic & with the most to teach (if that were his aim). The funniest, the smartest, the most elegant, a terrific poet. Died in June 2002, telling his friends they were being too morbid about his imminent death. He was a Zen monk. He was ready - & wanted to be laid out on a bier of frozen raspberries.
