Review: Corso: The Last Beat

As a follow to yesterday's posting about the new Corso: The Last Beat documentary by Gustave Reininger, here is a link to a solid review by Ron Silliman of an early cut of the film:


And a classic piece from the man himself:

The Mad Yak

I am watching them churn the last milk they'll ever get from me. They are waiting for me to die; They want to make buttons out of my bones. Where are my sisters and brothers? That tall monk there, loading my uncle, he has a new cap. And that idiot student of his-- I never saw that muffler before. Poor uncle, he lets them load him. How sad he is, how tired! I wonder what they'll do with his bones? And that beautiful tail! How many shoelaces will they make of that!

Gregory Corso
