A postcard from The Here To Go Show, Dublin, September-October, 1992, showing "Marakesh", a painting by Brion Gysin on recto.
On verso is both a brief quote from Brion Gysin with a poem about Brion Gysin by Anne Waldman:
His voice:
knowledgeable, hip,
caustic
'behind the scenes'
Internationally elegant
with an edge
& is always
'avant' eye
friend to young
He'd say to me
'& how's your Mama?'
accent on the 2nd 'ma'
(They'd known
each other
in Greece in
Thirties & she'd
always said
how gorgeous
he was, a god Pan
at 19)
He was consummate
adventurer
with birllian
knack for new
forms of brave
word & hieroglyph
Yet restless inside
He got alive
discovering
from the cut-up
discovering, for example
'before I disprairie',
playing somewhere
between despair
& disappearance
out on the desert
(Arabia?)
in prayer
