Allen Ginsberg Live in London is a DVD film of Allen Ginsberg reading his poems and performing on stage in London (UK) at Heaven nightclub from October 19 1995, his last public stage performance in the UK.
Shot by Steve Teers of Diva Pictures London and booked by Lee Harris of Alchemy it is a memorial to one of America's greatest humanitarians, poets and scholars. The great man was in good form, performing a selection of his poems and songs with great energy in front of 1000 people. Dressed in blue shirt, cords and red braces Allen Ginsberg delivers a formidable eulogy. The poems were from a previous canon as well as modern day material. The venue Heaven was packed to the rafters, a birthday celebration of the underground club-night megatripolis. People had come from near and far and the night was a brilliant one, truly memorable. We hope this dvd stands as part of the work that shows Allen Ginsberg's genius. This DVD film has been officially released.

HOMEWORK
Hommage Kenneth Koch
If I were doing my Laundry I.."d wash my dirty Iran
I.."d throw in my United States, and pour on the Ivory soap, scrub up Africa,
put all the birds and elephants back in the jungle,
I.."d wash the Amazon river and clean the oily Carib & Gulf of Mexico,
Rub that smog off the North Pole, wipe up all the pipelines in Alaska,
Rub a dub dub for Rocky Flats and Los Alamos, Flush that sparkly Cesium
out of Love Canal
Rinse down the Acid Rain over the Parthenon & Sphinx, Drain Sludge out
of the Mediterranean basin and make it azure again,
Put some blueing back into the sky over the Rhine, bleach the little Clouds
so snow return white as snow,
Cleanse the Hudson Thames & Neckar, Drain the Suds out of Lake Erie
Then I.."d throw big Asia in one giant Load & wash out the blood & Agent
Orange,
Dump the whole mess of Russia and China in the wringer, squeeze out the
tattletail Gray of U.S. Central American police state,
& put the planet in the drier & let it sit 20 minutes or an Aeon till it
came
out clean.
