'J ' li lt 1 V V. it Gordon Ball with poet Allen Ginsberg on ah upstate New York farm in 1973 by Sid Smith Staff Writer For three years, UNC student Gordon Ball lived and worked with poet Allen Ginsberg and several other friends on a small farm in Upstate New York. As a result, Ginsberg invited Ball to accompany him on his I97l poetry reading tour of college campuses. Fortunately, along with a devoted interest in Ginsberg's poetry and social philosophy, Ball brought a portable Sony cassette recorder. From the sometimes inspiring, sometimes exhausting hours of nationwide talks and gatherings, Ball has edited Allen Verbatim: Lectures on Poetry, Politics, Consciousness. Published this fall by McGraw-Hill, Verbatim provides an extensive look at the thought and creeds of America's genius-guru. An informal reception will be held for Ball at 3 p.m. today in the Bullshead Bookstore, Last week, McGraw-Hill submitted Allen Verbatim as its nominee for a Pulitzer Prize. Ball feels that one of the most important underlying conceptions of Allen Verbatim is the traditional poetic role of prophet that Ginsberg has assumed for two decades. "Allen's role as prophet situates him in a previously unrecognized position within the framework of American poetry," Ball said. That role includes two functions the popular conception of a seer who predicts the future and the broader, tribal role of the prophet who draws his nation into social and spiritual awareness. Ball traces the prophetic tradition in American poetry back to Walt Whitman, to whom Ginsberg dedicated his award-winning 1 973 volume of poetry. The Fall of America. In Democratic Vistas, Whitman calls for a loving comradeship among men and issues a warning against the dangers and a destructiveness of a technological, material development that lacks a corresponding spiritual growth. "A main effort of the Beat movement was an attempt to resurrect American individualism in the face of a giant, corporate state which reduces human identity to anonymity," Ball said. Allen Verbatim is divided into four parts, beginning with a discussion of metaphysics, both personal and historical. In the second part, Ginsberg directs attention to the history and consequences of the criminalization of the opium and heroin .addict population and to the U.S. Narcotics Bureau's "war against physicians." He examines police opposition to medical treatment of drug addicts and uncovers police complicity with a mafia-dominated black market explaining the role the market plays in the spread of addiction and the perpetuation of "crime in the streets." Ball describes the third part of the book as a discussion of recent influential directions in American poetry. The section includes a personal discussion by Ginsberg and fellow poet Robert Duncan of their early poetic development, a spontaneous exposition of the work' of the late Jack Kerouac and two chapters devoted to the poetics of Ezra Pound. The fourth section examines the patterns of thought which give rise to the overgrowth of military science and technology. A useful guide to Ginsberg's own poetic effort. Ball said, lies in his phrase "mind practiced in spontaneity." kin to jazz and blues improvisation, this approach requires a discipline of mental awareness in which any gesture, action, or word written or sung is poetic."
