The famous non-objective artists, from the New York School, for instance - Kline, De Kooning, Motherwell - were Abstract Expressionists, but they were great draftsmen; they could draw extremely well before they started painting non-objective.

It's much easier to consume the visual image than to read something.

Some of our greatest painters and poets are not activists at all. Like the Japanese haiku masters, or various Polish poets or Chinese poets, or 12th century mystics like Rumi or Hafiz, the great Persian poets.

I'm reading a book about Romaine Brooks, a wonderful painter from early in the last century.

It's the story of an American who wants to become a dictator and goes to Europe with a sidekick to interview various Fascists to find out how the Nazis and Mussolini got into power.

"Skyscraper America" extends around the world with American corporate monoculture.

It would have been nice had we provided a nice warm stable and we were feeding them regularly - the care and feeding of poets.

We didn't really have a stable. One at a time, poets would stagger in the door, drunk or sober, high or stoned.

Don't patronize the chain bookstores. Every time I see some author scheduled to read and sign his books at a chain bookstore, I feel like telling him he's stabbing the independent bookstores in the back.

They were looking for a stable, but we didn't have one. In fact, we weren't very stable ourselves.

I'm still working on it. Look what it did for Pisa!

I had a show at George Krevsky Gallery this past spring. That show traveled to Woodstock, New York where it showed for six weeks.

I think if there's a great depression there might be some hope.

No, I didn't become disenchanted. I just couldn't paint like them.

There are skyscrapers in Sumatra, in China, in Japan, in the Middle East, in mid-Europe, in all the countries that were once under dictatorships.

We have to raise the consciousness; the only way poets can change the world is to raise the consciousness of the general populace.

It seems to me it's changing for the worse. The spineless Democrats are taking dictation from George II who usurped the throne and is occupying the palace illegally.

It seemed the clamor was such that this book would not be allowed by proper society. After all, Howl was a vast castigation of American consumer society.

No, it's much worse. That was nothing back then. President Eisenhower's reign was very stultifying; there was lots of unspoken censorship.

I'd ban all automobiles from the central part of the city. You see, the automobile was just a passing fad. It's got to go. It's got to go a long way from here.
