Bob McNeil, writer, editor, cartoonist, and spoken word artist, is the author of Verses of Realness (https://tinylink.net/muF6C). Hal Sirowitz, a former Queens, NY Poet Laureate, called the book “a fantastic trip through the mind of a poet who doesn’t flinch at the truth.”
Poem of the Week By Bob McNeil
I must say my unflagging love for the Beat Movement moved me. Years ago, like a groupie, I used to attend Allen Ginsberg’s recitals in New York. On two occasions, he gave me his autograph. Sure, I can go into great detail about my love for Jack Kerouac and William Burroughs. But I must mention America’s Arthur Rimbaud, Bob Kaufman. Almost above all others, he touched my spirit.
