He studied briefly at Providence College until 1954 when he joined the US army, which he served three years, an eighteen months of which were spent in the Korean War. Berrigan returned to the US and completed a Bachelor’s degree in English literature at the University of Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1595. It was there that he met Ron Padgett and Joe Brainard. Berrigan completed his MA in 1962, and soon after, with a number of friends from Tulsa, went north to the Lower East Side of New York City. By 1963, Berrigan had established C: A Journal of Poetry, which published not only the work of his friends, but the poetry of the older generation of New York poets and artists like Andy Warhol. In 1964, Berrigan published his most accomplished collection of poems, The Sonnets (Lorenz & Ellen Gude, 1964). Berrigan also taught at the St. Mark’s Poetry Project at its conception by Paul Blackburn, helping to shape the project and its programmes in its early days. He also lectured at the State University of Michigan, University of Iowa, Yale University, the University of Michigan, and at the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics at Naropa Institute in Boulder, Colorado. A selection of his publications include A Lily for My Love (Self published, 1959), In the Early Morning Rain (Cape Goliard Press, 1970), Red Wagon (Yellow Press, 1976), Galileo; or Finksville a play (1964) and Bean Spasms (Kulchur Press, 1967) written with Ron Padgett. Ted Berrigan died on July 4, 1983. The most comprehensive collection of his poetry can be found in So Going Around Cities: New and Selected Poems 1958-1979 (Blue Wind Press, 1980).\",\"nation\":[],\"role\":[\"Author\",\"Performer\"]}]"],"contributors_names":["Bowering, George"],"contributors_names_search":["Bowering, George"],"contributors":["[{\"url\":\"http://viaf.org/viaf/34469976\",\"name\":\"Bowering, George\",\"dates\":\"1935-\",\"notes\":\"\",\"nation\":[],\"role\":[\"Series organizer\",\"Presenter\"]}]"],"Presenter_name":["Bowering, George"],"Series_organizer_name":["Bowering, George"],"Performance_Date":[1970],"material_description":["[{\"side\":\"\",\"image\":\"\",\"other\":\"\",\"extent\":\"1/4 inch\",\"AV_types\":\"Audio\",\"tape_brand\":\"Scotch\",\"generations\":\"\",\"Conservation\":\"\",\"equalization\":\"\",\"playback_mode\":\"Mono\",\"playing_speed\":\"3 3/4 ips\",\"sound_quality\":\"Excellent\",\"recording_type\":\"Analogue\",\"storage_capacity\":\"\",\"physical_condition\":\"\",\"track_configuration\":\"Half-track\",\"material_designation\":\"Reel to Reel\",\"physical_composition\":\"Magnetic Tape\",\"accompanying_material\":\"\",\"other_physical_description\":\"\"}]"],"material_designations":["Reel to Reel"],"physical_compositions":["Magnetic Tape"],"recording_type":["Analogue"],"AV_type":["Audio"],"playback_mode":["Mono"],"Dates":["[{\"date\":\"1970 12 4\",\"type\":\"Performance Date\",\"notes\":\"Date reference on tape box\",\"source\":\"Accompanying Material\"}]"],"Location":["[{\"url\":\"https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/22080570\",\"venue\":\"Hall Building Room H-651\",\"notes\":\"\",\"address\":\"1455, Boul de Maisonneuve Ouest, Montreal, Quebec, Canada\",\"latitude\":\"45.4972758\",\"longitude\":\"-73.57893043\"}]"],"Address":["1455, Boul de Maisonneuve Ouest, Montreal, Quebec, Canada"],"Venue":["Hall Building Room H-651"],"City":["Montreal, Quebec"],"content_notes":["Ted Berrigan reads from In the Early Morning Rain (Cape Goliard, 1970), The Sonnets (Grove Press, 1964), Many Happy Returns (Corinth, 1969) and poems later collected in So Going Around Cities (Berkley, 1980) as well as a few unknown poems."],"contents":["ted_berrigan_i086-11-004.mp3\n\nGeorge Bowering\n00:00:00\nWelcome to at last the second reading in the series, for this year.  As you probably know, the series that we have, it might be loosely called a kind of an avant-garde series, and in the, this is our fifth year, and this is the first time we've ever had anybody from the New York School [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1972942]--it's not going to be the last time, we're going to have Kenneth Koch [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2708628] in the spring, and we're looking for Tom Clarke [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7815337] next fall. Berrigan [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2399732] is I guess now, one of the, say the halfback, I supposed, or quarterback of the New York School. Many of you have probably seen...[laughter] yeah, linebacker! When you ask when you're a little thin... And most of you have probably seen the propaganda sheet that's been around, downstairs and so on, and so you've heard the words that some of his confreres have said about him. I'd just like to add a little bit, in addition to those earlier books such as The Sonnets, and Bean Spasms, there's a couple of new books that have just appeared, one's called In the Early Morning Rain, which will be available here because it's a Cape Goliard book, and it's distributed in Canada [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q16] by one of the big Toronto [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q172] publishers, and another one with a Kraut title that I can't read that's bilingual, half-German and half-English that I'm sure we'll hear some from....\n \nTed Berrigan\n00:01:31\nThe title's [unintelligible] Guillaume Apollinaire [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q133855] ist ...\n \nGeorge Bowering\n00:01:34\nOh I see, yeah right.\n \nTed Berrigan\n00:01:35\nHowever I don't have any available, only in Berlin [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q64].\n \nGeorge Bowering\n00:01:38\nRight, so if you happen to be in Berlin, snap up a copy of Guillaume Apollinaire ist tot und Anders. So I'd like to mention that Ted Berrigan is going to read one set, and then he wants to stop for a very short intermission, say like a five-minute intermission, and then haul you back in again and do a second set. So ladies and gentlemen, etcetera, Ted Berrigan.\n \nAudience\n00:02:05\nApplause. \n \nUnknown\n00:02:07\n[Cut or edit made in tape. Unknown amount of time elapsed]. \n \nTed Berrigan\n00:02:08\nIn the first set I'm going to read mostly poems I've written over the last four or five years. Actually, longer than that, some going back to 1962, or '61. I don't know how long this set'll be. It'll, should be less than a half-hour. In the second set I'll read poems I've written over the last year or two. However I want to start with a poem that I wrote about two years ago. It's called \"Heroin\" I read this in high schools in Ann Arbor [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q485172] which I went to read in a program called Poetry Ann Arbor, and I wanted, I read the title and then I wanted to, I read the title and then I wanted to, I found it real funny because it was called \"Heroin,\" and I wanted to disclaim that it was a pro-heroin poem. So I said, this poem is not a pro-heroin poem.Then I realized there wasn't an anti-heroin poem either.  So I ended them, it was just sort of an on-heroin poem. [Audience laughter]. All my poems are pretty much alike, and this is fairly typical of what you'll be hearing the rest of the evening. \n \nTed Berrigan\n00:03:19\nReads \"Heroin\".\n \nTed Berrigan\n00:04:22\nThis poem is called \"Frank O'Hara's Question\". Frank O'Hara [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q951010] is a poet from New York [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q60], who's dead, he died when he was forty years old a couple of years ago in an automobile accident. The title doesn't have too much to do with the poem, except that it sort of states something that Frank O'Hara evidently had to say, and so it says something that I have to say too in my own way, not that I have to say it the same way that Frank did. \n \nTed Berrigan\n00:04:56\nReads \"Frank O’Hara’s Question\".\n \nTed Berrigan\n00:05:42\nThis is a poem I wrote in 1962. It's called \"Words for Love\". It's a bit rhetorical, but it's the best I could do in 1962, and I still like it a lot, albeit I wonder at some of it.  \"Words for Love\". It was written, actually, at a very difficult time in my life, and I guess I felt the need to make some sort of statement.\n \nTed Berrigan\n00:06:09\nReads \"Words for Love\".\n \nTed Berrigan\n00:08:07\nReads [\"I wake up 11:30, back aching\"].\n \nTed Berrigan\n00:09:23\nReads “Personal Poem #7. \n \nTed Berrigan\n00:10:23\nReads “Personal Poem”.\n \nAudience\n00:11:08\nApplause.\n\nTed Berrigan\n00:11:10\nThank you. Charlie Stanton liked that one too. [Audience laughter]. This is the last one of those kind of poems [audience laughter]. \n \nTed Berrigan\n00:11:21\nReads “Personal Poem #9”.\n\nTed Berrigan\n00:12:32\nI've always liked that poem. [Laughter]. All of those are written around 1962, 61 and 62.  I want to skip up to around 1967. I wrote this poem called \"Things to do in New York City\". I was leaving New York, and this poem, like many of my poems, was written for a specific occasion. It was for someone's birthday. And the poem, it's just my poem, it's not about the other person's birthday, it's just a present for him on his birthday. \n \nTed Berrigan\n00:13:24\nReads \"Things to do in New York City\".\n \nTed Berrigan\n00:14:20\nThis poem is called \"Ten Things I do Every Day,\" which is...it's true, as a matter of fact, in a way. In a manner of speaking. But it's not true that it's ten things. Alas. But that was just the title, like the ten greatest movies of the year. \n \nTed Berrigan\n00:14:40\nReads \"Ten Things I do Every Day\".\n\nAudience\n00:15:16\nLaughter.\n \nTed Berrigan\n00:15:21\nThat's what you do in New York. [Audience laughter]. I'll read this poem called \"Resolution\". \n \nTed Berrigan\n00:15:35\nReads \"Resolution”.\n \nTed Berrigan\n00:15:58\nI don't know what I'll do about it if you do, but...something. All those dramatic poems. \n \nTed Berrigan\n00:16:06\nReads “Sonnet XXXVII”.\n \nTed Berrigan\n00:17:08\nI want to move around a little and not do exactly what I said. This is a poem I wrote last summer in London [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q84], it's dedicated to the poet Tom Raworth [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7817338] and his wife. They lived in Colchester [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q184163], which is an hour or two train-ride from London, and I was supposed to go down and see them, and I didn't go. And by way of apologies, I wrote this poem to Tom and to his wife, Val.\n \nTed Berrigan\n00:17:33\nReads \"Apologies to Val and Tom\".\n \nTed Berrigan\n00:19:05\nI'll read this one for George Bowering's old lady, [audience laughter] Mrs. Angela Bowering. It's called \"Things to do on Speed\". [Audience laughter].\n \nTed Berrigan\n00:19:19\nReads \"Things to do on Speed\" [audience laughter throughout].\n \nTed Berrigan\n00:20:58 [Laughter] I forgot about that one.  \n\nAudience \n00:21:01\nLaughter.\n \nTed Berrigan\n00:21:03\nResumes reading \"Things to do on Speed\".\n \nTed Berrigan\n00:22:21\nI wrote that one courtesy of The New York Times [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q9684]. Okay, one more this set. This is called, \"Things to do in Providence\". [Audience laughter]. Which is, Providence [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q18383], Rhode Island [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1387], or whatever else you can make of it.\n \nTed Berrigan\n00:22:50\nReads \"Things to do in Providence\".\n \nAudience\n00:26:23\nLaughter.\n \nTed Berrigan\n00:26:29\nResumes reading \"Things to do in Providence\".\n \nAudience\n00:27:46\nApplause.\n \nTed Berrigan\n00:27:52\n[Unintelligible].\n \nUnknown\n00:27:55\n[Cut or edit made in tape. Unknown amount of time elapsed].\n \nGeorge Bowering\n00:27:55\nHere he is again, terrible Ted Berrigan. \n \nTed Berrigan\n00:28:01\nAll the poems I'm going to read in this set are from my book, In the Early Morning Rain.  The title of this book I got from Gordon Lightfoot [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q359552], the Canadian folk singer-songwriter, and I didn't know, I made, I decided to use that title before Bobby Dylan's [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q392] album Self-Portrait [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q634569] came out, so I didn't know that Bobby was going to record this song. I would have used it anyway, I'm sure. But, I mean if Dylan can steal it, I can steal it. And this book is a collection of poems of mine from over the last ten years, and I'm just going to read around in it. I wrote a lot of different kind of poems. I don't very often try for...I mean, I just take my poems where they come. This poem is called \"Hello\". \n \nTed Berrigan\n00:28:51\nReads \"Hello\" from In the Early Morning Rain.\n \nTed Berrigan\n00:29:06\nNow I'm going to read two or three poems that are from a section of this book called \"Life of a Man\".  \"Life of a Man\" is a book of poems in Italian by an Italian poet, a very great Italian poet who died not too long ago called Giuseppe Ungaretti [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q311802]. There's a little story behind these. A lady poet named Barbara Guest [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q807448] once asked my friend Ron Patchett and I, would we translate some of Ungaretti's poems, because Ungaretti was coming to America [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q30]. And she thought it would be nice if we would translate them as a sort of homage to him. And so I told her, I said, “Barbara, but we don't understand Italian,” and she said, “Oh, I'm sure you can do it, you two are marvelous”.  And she said, “Just get a dictionary, and you can look up the words”. So I looked at Ron and he looked at me, and we said, yeah, we can translate 'em, sure, but we don't want to get any dictionaries. So we just translated 'em without any dictionaries. [Audience laughter]. And we never showed them to Ungaretti but we showed them to Barbara Guest and she had the horrors. The first one is called \"Matinee\". \n \nTed Berrigan\n00:30:16\nReads \"Matinee\" from In the Early Morning Rain [audience laughter throughout].\n\nTed Berrigan\n00:30:26\nThe next one is called \"December\" [audience laughter].\n \nTed Berrigan\n00:30:30\nReads \"December\" from In the Early Morning Rain [audience laughter throughout].\n \nTed Berrigan\n00:30:38\nAnd this one is called \"The Reply to the Fragile.\" \n \nTed Berrigan\n00:30:42\nReads \"The Reply to the Fragile\" from In the Early Morning Rain.\n \nTed Berrigan\n00:30:53\nThat one's a little, that's rated X. [Audience laughter]. And this is the last one, it's called “Corporal Pellegrini”. If any of you know Italian, you can understand where all these words came from [audience laughter].\n \nTed Berrigan\n00:31:09\nReads \"Corporal Pellegrini\" from In the Early Morning Rain.\n \nTed Berrigan\n00:31:38\nI think Ungaretti would've liked them. [Audience laughter]. He probably would have retranslated them and gotten some new ones. This next work is a translation too and it's a translation I did from French, which I understand some. And so this time I only had to leave certain words. This time I translated a lot of it accurately. But it's called \"Life among the woods\". And it's a translation of a page from a grammar book, some kind of book written in the French language. After I'd gotten this much done I decided it was over. Anyway, it's called \"Life Among the Woods\".\n \nTed Berrigan\n00:32:20\nReads \"Life Among the Woods\" from In the Early Morning Rain.\n \nTed Berrigan\n00:34:30.58\nPretty interesting family. This is a poem called \"In Four Parts.\"\n \nTed Berrigan\n00:34:40.14\nReads \"In Four Parts\" from In the Early Morning Rain.\n \nTed Berrigan\n00:35:22\nThat was four sentences from the New York Times. They had this secret continuity. [Laughter]. This is a poem called \"March 17th, 1970\".\n \nTed Berrigan\n00:35:35\nReads \"March 17th, 1970\" from In the Early Morning Rain.\n \nTed Berrigan\n00:36:03\nAnd you'd better believe it. Only not right now, right then. I don't know if I can subject you to this poem. I guess I will anyway. This is called \"The Ten Greatest Books of the Year, 1968\".\n \nTed Berrigan\n00:36:28\nReads \"The Ten Greatest Books of the Year, 1968\" from In the Early Morning Rain [audience laughter throughout].\n \nTed Berrigan\n00:38:02\nYou people that are laughing are getting it.\n\nTed Berrigan\n00:38:04\nResumes reading \"The Ten Greatest Books of the Year, 1968\" from In the Early Morning Rain. \n\nAudience\n00:38:14\nLaughter.\n\nTed Berrigan\n00:38:17\nThis is a poem called \"Thirty\".\n \nTed Berrigan\n00:38:18\nReads \"Thirty\" from In the Early Morning Rain\n \nTed Berrigan\n00:38:24\nThat's for all of you guys that did thirty. This poem is called \"Things to do in Anne's Room\".\n \nTed Berrigan\n00:38:34\nReads \"Things to do in Anne's Room\" from In the Early Morning Rain\n \nTed Berrigan\n00:39:42\nThis is called \"The Great Genius\".\n \nTed Berrigan\n00:39:45\nReads \"The Great Genius\" from In the Early Morning Rain.\n \nTed Berrigan\n00:39:56\nThis is called \"Anti-War Poem\". It's another New Year's poem, actually.\n \nTed Berrigan\n00:40:03\nReads \"Anti-War Poem\" from In the Early Morning Rain.\n \nTed Berrigan\n00:40:41\nAnd this poem is called \"Tough Brown Coat\".\n \nTed Berrigan\n00:40:43\nReads \"Tough Brown Coat\" from In the Early Morning Rain.\n \nTed Berrigan\n00:41:04\nThis poem is called \"Babe Rainbow\".\n \nTed Berrigan\n00:41:08\nReads \"Babe Rainbow\" from In the Early Morning Rain.\n \nTed Berrigan\n00:41:25\nAnd this is called \"In My Room\".\n \nTed Berrigan\n00:41:30\nReads \"In My Room\" from In the Early Morning Rain.\n \nTed Berrigan\n00:41:54\nThis is called \"Ann Arbor Elegy\". It was written for a girl who was killed in an automobile accident. September 27th, 1969. The funny thing about this poem is it was written before she was killed. And when I looked at it after she was dead, I saw that I didn't have to write an elegy for her, that somehow I'd written one already. \n \nTed Berrigan\n00:42:17\nReads \"Ann Arbor Elegy - For Franny Winston\" from In the Early Morning Rain.\n \nTed Berrigan\n00:43:13\nAnd this is a sort of berserk work, which I wrote called \"Wake Up,\" which is about all it says, really.\n \nTed Berrigan\n00:43:23\nReads \"Wake up\" from In the Early Morning Rain.\n \nTed Berrigan\n00:44:18\nI have another poem which I'd like to read but I won't, but it's a series of aphorisms from the works of Francis Picabia [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q157321], the French poet and painter. And this friend Jim Carroll [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q444806] and I translated these from French. I'll read you my favourite one, in any case, which Jim Carroll translated. It says, \"Spinoza [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q35802] is the one who threw a pass to move Spinoza.\" I really...in this book I put some poems by some of my friends so I wouldn't have to read all my works. Though when I read I never read theirs, I notice. This poem is called \"In Bed\".\n \nTed Berrigan\n00:44:56\nReads \"In Bed\" from In the Early Morning Rain.\n \nTed Berrigan\n00:45:12\nThat's an example of saying nothing. [Audience laughter]. This poem is called \"Easy Living\". It's dedicated to a boy named David Henderson, a poet who was a friend of mine, whom I once took a trip to Pittsburgh [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1342] with. Had a very nice time. \n \nTed Berrigan\n00:45:33\nReads \"Easy Living\" from In the Early Morning Rain.\n \nTed Berrigan\n00:46:25\nThis is a poem I wrote, it's called \"Like Poem\". A friend of mine wrote a love poem to this girl, and I thought I should do that too. But I only wanted to write a like poem to her, because I don't want to have any obligations. [Audience laughter]. No, that isn't the reason why, but that's what came out. This is called \"Like Poem,\" it's to Joan Fagan, who's the wife of my friend Larry Fagan [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q95906997], the poet. \n \nTed Berrigan\n00:46:50\nReads \"Like Poem\" from In the Early Morning Rain.\n \nTed Berrigan\n00:47:06\nThis poem is called \"Ann Arbor Song\". This poem I actually tried to write a poem out of a very corny feeling that I'd had, which nevertheless is very genuine. It starts at a poetry reading in Ann Arbor, but it's really about being in Ann Arbor and realizing I was leaving soon, and thinking about all the things that wouldn't happen to me again, because this trip was going to be over.  Even though, I'm--it's not all that sentimental, I mean I knew I might go to Ann Arbor again and all that, it was just that this particular trip was going to be over. I also wrote it with the idea in mind of reading it at a poetry reading too.  \"Ann Arbor Song\".\n \nTed Berrigan\n00:47:45\nReads \"Ann Arbor Song\" from In the Early Morning Rain.\n \nTed Berrigan\n00:49:22\nI'm going to read two more. First one's called \"Peace\".\n \nTed Berrigan\n00:49:29 \nReads \"Peace\" from In the Early Morning Rain.\n\nTed Berrigan\n00:50:37\nAlright, and this is the last poem. I hate to end heavy, but there's no place to read this poem but at the end. This poem is called \"People Who Died\". It's just a list. \"People Who Died\".\n \nTed Berrigan\n00:50:55\nReads \"People Who Died\" from In the Early Morning Rain.\n \nAudience\n00:52:48\nApplause.\n \nTed Berrigan\n00:52:53\nNot the most, uh...[laughter].\n \nEND\n00:52:59\n"],"Note":["[{\"note\":\"Year-Specific Information:\\n\\nIn 1970, Ted Berrigan published In the Early Morning Rain (Cape Goliard Press), and also privately published Scorpion, Eagle & Dove.\",\"type\":\"General\"},{\"note\":\"Local Connections:\\n\\nTed Berrigan’s connection to Sir George Williams University is unclear at the moment, but Berrigan was part of the so called ‘Second Beat’ movement, as well as part of the ‘New York School’ of poetry.

As you probably know, the series that we have, it might be loosely called a kind of an avant-garde series, and in the, this is our fifth year, and this is the first time we've ever had anybody from the New York School [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1972942]--it's not going to be the last time, we're going to have Kenneth Koch [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2708628] in the spring, and we're looking for Tom Clarke [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7815337] next fall. Berrigan [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2399732] is I guess now, one of the, say the halfback, I supposed, or quarterback of the New York School. Many of you have probably seen...[laughter] yeah, linebacker! When you ask when you're a little thin... And most of you have probably seen the propaganda sheet that's been around, downstairs and so on, and so you've heard the words that some of his confreres have said about him. I'd just like to add a little bit, in addition to those earlier books such as The Sonnets, and Bean Spasms, there's a couple of new books that have just appeared, one's called In the Early Morning Rain, which will be available here because it's a Cape Goliard book, and it's distributed in Canada [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q16] by one of the big Toronto [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q172] publishers, and another one with a Kraut title that I can't read that's bilingual, half-German and half-English that I'm sure we'll hear some from....\\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:01:31\\nThe title's [unintelligible] Guillaume Apollinaire [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q133855] ist ...\\n \\nGeorge Bowering\\n00:01:34\\nOh I see, yeah right.\\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:01:35\\nHowever I don't have any available, only in Berlin [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q64].\\n \\nGeorge Bowering\\n00:01:38\\nRight, so if you happen to be in Berlin, snap up a copy of Guillaume Apollinaire ist tot und Anders. So I'd like to mention that Ted Berrigan is going to read one set, and then he wants to stop for a very short intermission, say like a five-minute intermission, and then haul you back in again and do a second set. So ladies and gentlemen, etcetera, Ted Berrigan.\\n \\nAudience\\n00:02:05\\nApplause. \\n \\nUnknown\\n00:02:07\\n[Cut or edit made in tape. Unknown amount of time elapsed]. \\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:02:08\\nIn the first set I'm going to read mostly poems I've written over the last four or five years. Actually, longer than that, some going back to 1962, or '61. I don't know how long this set'll be. It'll, should be less than a half-hour. In the second set I'll read poems I've written over the last year or two. However I want to start with a poem that I wrote about two years ago. It's called \\\"Heroin\\\" I read this in high schools in Ann Arbor [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q485172] which I went to read in a program called Poetry Ann Arbor, and I wanted, I read the title and then I wanted to, I read the title and then I wanted to, I found it real funny because it was called \\\"Heroin,\\\" and I wanted to disclaim that it was a pro-heroin poem. So I said, this poem is not a pro-heroin poem.Then I realized there wasn't an anti-heroin poem either.  So I ended them, it was just sort of an on-heroin poem. [Audience laughter]. All my poems are pretty much alike, and this is fairly typical of what you'll be hearing the rest of the evening. \\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:03:19\\nReads \\\"Heroin\\\".\\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:04:22\\nThis poem is called \\\"Frank O'Hara's Question\\\". Frank O'Hara [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q951010] is a poet from New York [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q60], who's dead, he died when he was forty years old a couple of years ago in an automobile accident. The title doesn't have too much to do with the poem, except that it sort of states something that Frank O'Hara evidently had to say, and so it says something that I have to say too in my own way, not that I have to say it the same way that Frank did. \\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:04:56\\nReads \\\"Frank O’Hara’s Question\\\".\\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:05:42\\nThis is a poem I wrote in 1962. It's called \\\"Words for Love\\\". It's a bit rhetorical, but it's the best I could do in 1962, and I still like it a lot, albeit I wonder at some of it.  \\\"Words for Love\\\". It was written, actually, at a very difficult time in my life, and I guess I felt the need to make some sort of statement.\\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:06:09\\nReads \\\"Words for Love\\\".\\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:08:07\\nReads [\\\"I wake up 11:30, back aching\\\"].\\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:09:23\\nReads “Personal Poem #7. \\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:10:23\\nReads “Personal Poem”.\\n \\nAudience\\n00:11:08\\nApplause.\\n\\nTed Berrigan\\n00:11:10\\nThank you. Charlie Stanton liked that one too. [Audience laughter]. This is the last one of those kind of poems [audience laughter]. \\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:11:21\\nReads “Personal Poem #9”.\\n\\nTed Berrigan\\n00:12:32\\nI've always liked that poem. [Laughter]. All of those are written around 1962, 61 and 62.  I want to skip up to around 1967. I wrote this poem called \\\"Things to do in New York City\\\". I was leaving New York, and this poem, like many of my poems, was written for a specific occasion. It was for someone's birthday. And the poem, it's just my poem, it's not about the other person's birthday, it's just a present for him on his birthday. \\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:13:24\\nReads \\\"Things to do in New York City\\\".\\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:14:20\\nThis poem is called \\\"Ten Things I do Every Day,\\\" which is...it's true, as a matter of fact, in a way. In a manner of speaking. But it's not true that it's ten things. Alas. But that was just the title, like the ten greatest movies of the year. \\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:14:40\\nReads \\\"Ten Things I do Every Day\\\".\\n\\nAudience\\n00:15:16\\nLaughter.\\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:15:21\\nThat's what you do in New York. [Audience laughter]. I'll read this poem called \\\"Resolution\\\". \\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:15:35\\nReads \\\"Resolution”.\\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:15:58\\nI don't know what I'll do about it if you do, but...something. All those dramatic poems. \\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:16:06\\nReads “Sonnet XXXVII”.\\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:17:08\\nI want to move around a little and not do exactly what I said. This is a poem I wrote last summer in London [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q84], it's dedicated to the poet Tom Raworth [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7817338] and his wife. They lived in Colchester [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q184163], which is an hour or two train-ride from London, and I was supposed to go down and see them, and I didn't go. And by way of apologies, I wrote this poem to Tom and to his wife, Val.\\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:17:33\\nReads \\\"Apologies to Val and Tom\\\".\\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:19:05\\nI'll read this one for George Bowering's old lady, [audience laughter] Mrs. Angela Bowering. It's called \\\"Things to do on Speed\\\". [Audience laughter].\\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:19:19\\nReads \\\"Things to do on Speed\\\" [audience laughter throughout].\\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:20:58 [Laughter] I forgot about that one.  \\n\\nAudience \\n00:21:01\\nLaughter.\\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:21:03\\nResumes reading \\\"Things to do on Speed\\\".\\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:22:21\\nI wrote that one courtesy of The New York Times [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q9684]. Okay, one more this set. This is called, \\\"Things to do in Providence\\\". [Audience laughter]. Which is, Providence [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q18383], Rhode Island [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1387], or whatever else you can make of it.\\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:22:50\\nReads \\\"Things to do in Providence\\\".\\n \\nAudience\\n00:26:23\\nLaughter.\\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:26:29\\nResumes reading \\\"Things to do in Providence\\\".\\n \\nAudience\\n00:27:46\\nApplause.\\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:27:52\\n[Unintelligible].\\n \\nUnknown\\n00:27:55\\n[Cut or edit made in tape. Unknown amount of time elapsed].\\n \\nGeorge Bowering\\n00:27:55\\nHere he is again, terrible Ted Berrigan. \\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:28:01\\nAll the poems I'm going to read in this set are from my book, In the Early Morning Rain.  The title of this book I got from Gordon Lightfoot [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q359552], the Canadian folk singer-songwriter, and I didn't know, I made, I decided to use that title before Bobby Dylan's [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q392] album Self-Portrait [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q634569] came out, so I didn't know that Bobby was going to record this song. I would have used it anyway, I'm sure. But, I mean if Dylan can steal it, I can steal it. And this book is a collection of poems of mine from over the last ten years, and I'm just going to read around in it. I wrote a lot of different kind of poems. I don't very often try for...I mean, I just take my poems where they come. This poem is called \\\"Hello\\\". \\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:28:51\\nReads \\\"Hello\\\" from In the Early Morning Rain.\\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:29:06\\nNow I'm going to read two or three poems that are from a section of this book called \\\"Life of a Man\\\".  \\\"Life of a Man\\\" is a book of poems in Italian by an Italian poet, a very great Italian poet who died not too long ago called Giuseppe Ungaretti [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q311802]. There's a little story behind these. A lady poet named Barbara Guest [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q807448] once asked my friend Ron Patchett and I, would we translate some of Ungaretti's poems, because Ungaretti was coming to America [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q30]. And she thought it would be nice if we would translate them as a sort of homage to him. And so I told her, I said, “Barbara, but we don't understand Italian,” and she said, “Oh, I'm sure you can do it, you two are marvelous”.  And she said, “Just get a dictionary, and you can look up the words”. So I looked at Ron and he looked at me, and we said, yeah, we can translate 'em, sure, but we don't want to get any dictionaries. So we just translated 'em without any dictionaries. [Audience laughter]. And we never showed them to Ungaretti but we showed them to Barbara Guest and she had the horrors. The first one is called \\\"Matinee\\\". \\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:30:16\\nReads \\\"Matinee\\\" from In the Early Morning Rain [audience laughter throughout].\\n\\nTed Berrigan\\n00:30:26\\nThe next one is called \\\"December\\\" [audience laughter].\\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:30:30\\nReads \\\"December\\\" from In the Early Morning Rain [audience laughter throughout].\\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:30:38\\nAnd this one is called \\\"The Reply to the Fragile.\\\" \\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:30:42\\nReads \\\"The Reply to the Fragile\\\" from In the Early Morning Rain.\\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:30:53\\nThat one's a little, that's rated X. [Audience laughter]. And this is the last one, it's called “Corporal Pellegrini”. If any of you know Italian, you can understand where all these words came from [audience laughter].\\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:31:09\\nReads \\\"Corporal Pellegrini\\\" from In the Early Morning Rain.\\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:31:38\\nI think Ungaretti would've liked them. [Audience laughter]. He probably would have retranslated them and gotten some new ones. This next work is a translation too and it's a translation I did from French, which I understand some. And so this time I only had to leave certain words. This time I translated a lot of it accurately. But it's called \\\"Life among the woods\\\". And it's a translation of a page from a grammar book, some kind of book written in the French language. After I'd gotten this much done I decided it was over. Anyway, it's called \\\"Life Among the Woods\\\".\\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:32:20\\nReads \\\"Life Among the Woods\\\" from In the Early Morning Rain.\\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:34:30.58\\nPretty interesting family. This is a poem called \\\"In Four Parts.\\\"\\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:34:40.14\\nReads \\\"In Four Parts\\\" from In the Early Morning Rain.\\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:35:22\\nThat was four sentences from the New York Times. They had this secret continuity. [Laughter]. This is a poem called \\\"March 17th, 1970\\\".\\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:35:35\\nReads \\\"March 17th, 1970\\\" from In the Early Morning Rain.\\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:36:03\\nAnd you'd better believe it. Only not right now, right then. I don't know if I can subject you to this poem. I guess I will anyway. This is called \\\"The Ten Greatest Books of the Year, 1968\\\".\\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:36:28\\nReads \\\"The Ten Greatest Books of the Year, 1968\\\" from In the Early Morning Rain [audience laughter throughout].\\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:38:02\\nYou people that are laughing are getting it.\\n\\nTed Berrigan\\n00:38:04\\nResumes reading \\\"The Ten Greatest Books of the Year, 1968\\\" from In the Early Morning Rain. \\n\\nAudience\\n00:38:14\\nLaughter.\\n\\nTed Berrigan\\n00:38:17\\nThis is a poem called \\\"Thirty\\\".\\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:38:18\\nReads \\\"Thirty\\\" from In the Early Morning Rain\\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:38:24\\nThat's for all of you guys that did thirty. This poem is called \\\"Things to do in Anne's Room\\\".\\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:38:34\\nReads \\\"Things to do in Anne's Room\\\" from In the Early Morning Rain\\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:39:42\\nThis is called \\\"The Great Genius\\\".\\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:39:45\\nReads \\\"The Great Genius\\\" from In the Early Morning Rain.\\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:39:56\\nThis is called \\\"Anti-War Poem\\\". It's another New Year's poem, actually.\\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:40:03\\nReads \\\"Anti-War Poem\\\" from In the Early Morning Rain.\\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:40:41\\nAnd this poem is called \\\"Tough Brown Coat\\\".\\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:40:43\\nReads \\\"Tough Brown Coat\\\" from In the Early Morning Rain.\\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:41:04\\nThis poem is called \\\"Babe Rainbow\\\".\\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:41:08\\nReads \\\"Babe Rainbow\\\" from In the Early Morning Rain.\\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:41:25\\nAnd this is called \\\"In My Room\\\".\\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:41:30\\nReads \\\"In My Room\\\" from In the Early Morning Rain.\\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:41:54\\nThis is called \\\"Ann Arbor Elegy\\\". It was written for a girl who was killed in an automobile accident. September 27th, 1969. The funny thing about this poem is it was written before she was killed. And when I looked at it after she was dead, I saw that I didn't have to write an elegy for her, that somehow I'd written one already. \\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:42:17\\nReads \\\"Ann Arbor Elegy - For Franny Winston\\\" from In the Early Morning Rain.\\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:43:13\\nAnd this is a sort of berserk work, which I wrote called \\\"Wake Up,\\\" which is about all it says, really.\\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:43:23\\nReads \\\"Wake up\\\" from In the Early Morning Rain.\\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:44:18\\nI have another poem which I'd like to read but I won't, but it's a series of aphorisms from the works of Francis Picabia [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q157321], the French poet and painter. And this friend Jim Carroll [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q444806] and I translated these from French. I'll read you my favourite one, in any case, which Jim Carroll translated. It says, \\\"Spinoza [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q35802] is the one who threw a pass to move Spinoza.\\\" I really...in this book I put some poems by some of my friends so I wouldn't have to read all my works. Though when I read I never read theirs, I notice. This poem is called \\\"In Bed\\\".\\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:44:56\\nReads \\\"In Bed\\\" from In the Early Morning Rain.\\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:45:12\\nThat's an example of saying nothing. [Audience laughter]. This poem is called \\\"Easy Living\\\". It's dedicated to a boy named David Henderson, a poet who was a friend of mine, whom I once took a trip to Pittsburgh [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1342] with. Had a very nice time. \\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:45:33\\nReads \\\"Easy Living\\\" from In the Early Morning Rain.\\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:46:25\\nThis is a poem I wrote, it's called \\\"Like Poem\\\". A friend of mine wrote a love poem to this girl, and I thought I should do that too. But I only wanted to write a like poem to her, because I don't want to have any obligations. [Audience laughter]. No, that isn't the reason why, but that's what came out. This is called \\\"Like Poem,\\\" it's to Joan Fagan, who's the wife of my friend Larry Fagan [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q95906997], the poet. \\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:46:50\\nReads \\\"Like Poem\\\" from In the Early Morning Rain.\\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:47:06\\nThis poem is called \\\"Ann Arbor Song\\\". This poem I actually tried to write a poem out of a very corny feeling that I'd had, which nevertheless is very genuine. It starts at a poetry reading in Ann Arbor, but it's really about being in Ann Arbor and realizing I was leaving soon, and thinking about all the things that wouldn't happen to me again, because this trip was going to be over.  Even though, I'm--it's not all that sentimental, I mean I knew I might go to Ann Arbor again and all that, it was just that this particular trip was going to be over. I also wrote it with the idea in mind of reading it at a poetry reading too.  \\\"Ann Arbor Song\\\".\\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:47:45\\nReads \\\"Ann Arbor Song\\\" from In the Early Morning Rain.\\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:49:22\\nI'm going to read two more. First one's called \\\"Peace\\\".\\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:49:29 \\nReads \\\"Peace\\\" from In the Early Morning Rain.\\n\\nTed Berrigan\\n00:50:37\\nAlright, and this is the last poem. I hate to end heavy, but there's no place to read this poem but at the end. This poem is called \\\"People Who Died\\\". It's just a list. \\\"People Who Died\\\".\\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:50:55\\nReads \\\"People Who Died\\\" from In the Early Morning Rain.\\n \\nAudience\\n00:52:48\\nApplause.\\n \\nTed Berrigan\\n00:52:53\\nNot the most, uh...[laughter].\\n \\nEND\\n00:52:59\\n\",\"notes\":\"Ted Berrigan reads from In the Early Morning Rain (Cape Goliard, 1970), The Sonnets (Grove Press, 1964), Many Happy Returns (Corinth, 1969) and poems later collected in So Going Around Cities (Berkley, 1980) as well as a few unknown poems.\\n\\n(Rachel has indexed individual poems)\\n00:00- George Bowering introduces Ted Berrigan.
