Cover to Cover with Jack Foley – January 31, 2007
Jack Foley presents "Poet Potpourri"
3:00 PST Wednesdays
A celebration of the art of poetry. A well-known poet himself, Jack Foley’s considerable historical knowledge and his awareness of the current “scene” are incorporated into his radio shows and have made them a kaleidoscopic, always stimulating attraction for anyone interested in poetry.
Jack Foley presents "Poet Potpourri"
The first half of Jack Foley’s interview with Allen Ginsberg, which took place on October 4, 1996 at the Triton Hotel in San Francisco.
Jack Foley plays Allen Ginsberg’s first recording of "Howl," made in 1955 a few weeks after the famous Six Gallery reading. Ginsberg had been asked to censor his "bad" language and complies with the request. The reading was released as a recording by Hanover Records in 1957.
The first of four shows in tribute to poet Allen Ginsberg. On today’s show Jack Foley reads "Howl and the Howlers: Ginsberg’s Poem Fifty Plus Years Later."
Jack Foley’s New Year’s show: old songs which have meant something to him over the years: "auld acquaintances."
