Gregory Corso reads his poem "Marriage"

[@UVCW]

This poem is funny, sad, insightful, revelatory, and heartbreaking: you can't simplify or quantify good ole' Gregory.

[@michaeldeane2380]

Such a good poem, Gregory really brings it to life.

Thank you for posting one of my favorite poems. This poem was part of ceremony I wrote for my first wedding.

Corso is gold.

So good ...

Google "The Dial-A-Poem Poets: Disconnected" It was a vinyl album released in 1974 but you can find all the recording from it on the web.

Not quite the way I'd imagined how the poet would read it: hearing this helps. I might have laughed in a few places too if the poem had been new to me: note that the further Corso goes, the less laughter despite some inherently funny lines; by that point, everyone understands.

[@polycarpx]

The audience is laughing because the poem is funny. They are the best audiece for this poem.

reminds me of Ginsberg's Kaddish or America

[@daniellyons914]

His voice and delivery remind me of Lenny Bruce.

[@rievans57]

Interesting.

[@keanuvasquez8097]

I always found this poem less funny and more anxious for some reason. I guess different interpretations make sense.
