Corso, Gregory [Nunzio] (1930–2001), poet of the Beat movement from New York City and friend of Allen Ginsberg, has led a checkered life in several lands and spent three years in prison. His poems of protest, now intensely bitter, now amusingly irreverent, appear in The Vestal Lady of Brattle (1955), Gasoline (1958), Bomb (1958), The Happy Birthday of Death (1960), Long Live Man (1962), Elegiac Feelings American (1970), There Is Yet Time To Run Back Through Life and Expiate All That's Been Sadly Done (1965), Herald of the Autochthonic Spirit (1981), Wings, Words, Windows (1982), and Mindfield (1989). This Hung‐Up Age (1955) is a play; The American Express (1961) is a novel; and Some of My Beginnings and What I Feel Right Now (1982) is a brief autobiographical work.
