Beats In Kansas: The Beat Generation in the Heartland


BOARDMAN STREET POEM

From
DOMINION and other poems
by Alan Russo, 1977

Cover art by Robert Branaman


Savage as nightmare
the climax rhythms climb and glide
teeth of landslide, might of moving paw
octopus vise twisting the continent into focus
the lion faces the unicorn
