1. "Harry Smith exhausted 3 AM over Chinese take-out supper. A car had backed into
him up on 12th Street corner Avenue A weeks earlier, compression-fractured his knee, so he stayed with me nine months in small room behind him he'd fixed with door-latch and lock. Old postcard of Manhattan Island on toilet door panel to his right. Ethnomusicologic archivist, film-maker, alchemist, he'd designed my new Collected Poems book cover, he'd been moved out of hotel room on 28th Street, lived in Bowery shelters, was now homeless in New York! June 17, 1985." Caption and photograph by Allen Ginsberg. © 2001 The Allen Ginsberg Trust
