An emaciated, bald man lies propped up in a hospital bed in this horizontally oriented black and white photograph. His body is to our left, and he turns to look at us, propped on a pillow on the raised head of the bed. His eyes are sunken, and his hands are curled in loose claws. He wears a polka-dotted hospital gown, and his lower body is covered by a crumpled white sheet. His arms lie on the sheet with rows of white tape holding tubes in place and a long tube runs into his nose. An IV pole with a plastic tube hanging from it extends the height of the image near the right edge, while a cart holding a bottle and another object with a bulbous top stands by to the wall beyond his bed. A white jug is hooked over the bed railing on that side. The artist has written in script underneath the image, “Living Theater genius Julian Beck 48th Street New York hospital room, his stomach-abdomen lining cancer allowed remission for the next year while he made films & video & theater & books from Zurich to Miami; ‘Death is the ultimate corruption,’ he announced, that day I visited, Medical Arts Center, May 1984. Allen Ginsberg.”

I taught Whitman, W.C. Williams, Kerouac, Burroughs and Gregory Corso’s writing to eager provincial students for three weeks, and sang lyrics by William Blake.
