There's a couple of small errors in the reading which you may point out if it pleases you to do so. But here's Ginsberg himself doing it: • Video and here's Sharon Olds: • Sharon Olds reads from...

@xtrmsprts I agree entirely. I was so absolutely privileged to have seen him read this very poem, among others, at UC Berkeley in 1992, and aside from how great that was in and of itself, his wise irreverence and wit left an indelible mark. Also to know that he wrote so many of his poems literally right down the street from Wheeler Hall was quite a bonus. And I had the distinct notion that the shade of Whitman was poking around, somewhere backstage, as well.

Have always loved this poem, Tom. I was surprised that Ginsberg himself wasn't overly fond of it.

Commented earlier but should have said more than just thank you: you read this very well. It's a very moving poem.

I have Ginsberg reading this in rotation on my mp3 player and have for years. It's fantastic. There's also a version of Ginsberg's "America" you can find which someone set to Tom Waits' "Closing Time". The two mesh perfectly and it sounds great. Your mistakes are as fine as Ginsberg's pronouncing Charon with ch as in chicken. It's Ginsberg, take it easy!

@xtrmsprts More or less, yes. He was an explosion. He did it succinctly.

Yes, and Auden didn't like September 1st, 1939. I consider both as legendary achievements in writing.
