Kino Da!

“Portrait of North Beach Communist cafe poet and gentle comrade Jack Hirschman, editor Artaud Anthology (City Lights), translator of Mayakovsky, the ferro-concrete poetry of Kamensky, and the early cannibalistic poetry of Abraham Abolafia, introductions to Alexander Trochi’s novels, etc. Hirschman’s poems of the day are cut-up, viz.
