MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History April 26, 2004: Author Hubert Selby died. He wrote “Last Exit to Brooklyn” and “Requiem for a Dream.” His first novel, “The Queen is Dead,” was banned in Italy and prosecuted for <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/obscenity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>obscenity</span></a> in the U.K. Allan Ginsberg thought that Last Exit would “explode like a rusty hellish bombshell over America and still be eagerly read in a hundred years.” Selby dropped out of high school to work on the docks of Brooklyn, before becoming a merchant seaman in 1947. However, he caught tuberculosis from the cows on board the ship. He was in and out of hospitals for the next three years. Doctors told him he was going to die. But several surgeries and experimental drugs saved his life. Too sick to do physical labor, he tried writing to earn a living. </p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>workingclass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HubertSelbey" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HubertSelbey</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/literature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>literature</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>books</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/author" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>author</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fiction</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/writer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writer</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/obscenity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>obscenity</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/allanginsberg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>allanginsberg</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LastExitToBrooklyn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LastExitToBrooklyn</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstadon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>bookstadon</span></a></span></p>

MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History March 25, 1957: U.S. Customs seized copies of Allen Ginsberg's poem "Howl" on obscenity grounds. Poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti, and City Lights manager, Shigeyoshi Murao, were arrested on obscenity charges for publishing and distributing the poem. Howl was inspired, in part, by a terrifying peyote vision Ginsberg had in which the façade of the Sir Francis Drake Hotel, in San Francisco, appeared as the monstrous face of a child-eating demon. The obscenity charges stemmed from homophobic responses to his explicit references to homosexuality. Ginsberg’s first experience with LSD, as well as Kerouac’s and Burroughs’s, was with acid provided by the anthropologist Gregory Bateson, one-time husband of and long-time collaborator with Margaret Mead. You can read more about Bateson and Mead’s early experimentation with, and promotion of, psychedelics (and their collaboration with the CIA) in the recent book, “Tripping on Utopia.”</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>workingclass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/poetry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>poetry</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/howl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>howl</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/lgbtq" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lgbtq</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/allenginsburg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>allenginsburg</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/homophobia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>homophobia</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/lawrenceferlinghetti" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lawrenceferlinghetti</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/citylights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>citylights</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/obscenity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>obscenity</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/censorship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>censorship</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/bannedbooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bannedbooks</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/kerouac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kerouac</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/williamburoughs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>williamburoughs</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/lsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lsd</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/peyote" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>peyote</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/margaretmead" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>margaretmead</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/gregorybateson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gregorybateson</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/psycheldelics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>psycheldelics</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>books</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/writer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writer</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/author" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>author</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/poet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>poet</span></a> @bookstadon</p>
MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History March 24, 1919: Poet and activist Lawrence Ferlinghetti was born. Ferlinghetti is most well-known for his book of poetry, “A Coney Island of the Mind” (1958) and for cofounding City Lights bookstore and publishing, in San Francisco. The authorities arrested him for publishing Allen Ginsberg’s “Howl” because they deemed it obscene. However, a jury acquitted him in 1957. Politically, Ferlinghetti considered himself an anarchist. His politics were influenced by Anarchist poet and IWW member Kenneth Rexroth.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>workingclass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/anarchism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>anarchism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IWW" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IWW</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/beatniks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>beatniks</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Ferlinghetti" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ferlinghetti</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/obscenity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>obscenity</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CityLights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CityLights</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/publishing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>publishing</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/poetry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>poetry</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstadon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>bookstadon</span></a></span></p>

MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History May 31, 1819: Poet Walt Whitman was born. Whitman published his first and most famous collection of poems, Leaves of Grass, in 1855, using his own money. It was criticized as obscene for its sensuality. During the Civil War, he volunteered in hospitals caring for the wounded. Many believe Whitman was gay or bisexual, based on his writings, though it is disputed by some historians. Oscar Wilde met Whitman in the United States in 1882 and told the homosexual-rights activist George Cecil Ives that Whitman's sexual orientation was beyond question—"I have the kiss of Walt Whitman still on my lips." Whitman is considered by many to be Americas first and greatest poet. He inspired many who came after him, including Ezra Pound, Langston Hughes, Kerouac, Ginsberg, Ferlinghetti, Gary Snyder and June Jordan.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>workingclass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/waltwhitman" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>waltwhitman</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/civilwar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>civilwar</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/poetry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>poetry</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/poet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>poet</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/writer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writer</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/lgbtq" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lgbtq</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/gay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gay</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/obscenity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>obscenity</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/oscarwilde" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>oscarwilde</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/allanginsberg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>allanginsberg</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstadon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>bookstadon</span></a></span></p>

MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History October 3, 1957: The California State Superior Court ruled that the book Howl and Other Poems, by Allen Ginsberg, was not obscene. The poem was based, in part, on a horrifying peyote hallucination he had of the glitzy Sir Frances Drake hotel, in San Francisco, morphing into a child-eating demon. The poem’s references to drug use and to homosexuality are what provoked the obscenity trial. City Lights bookstore own and publisher of Howl, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, and bookstore manager, Shig Murao, were arrested on obscenity charges for selling the book. </p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WorkingClass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WorkingClass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/poetry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>poetry</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/poem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>poem</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AllenGinsberg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AllenGinsberg</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LawrenceFerlinghetti" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LawrenceFerlinghetti</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CityLights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CityLights</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/obscenity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>obscenity</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/censorship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>censorship</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FreeSpeech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FreeSpeech</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LGBTQ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LGBTQ</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/homophobia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>homophobia</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/drugs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>drugs</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/peyote" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>peyote</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>books</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/publishing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>publishing</span></a> <span class="h-card"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstadon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>bookstadon</span></a></span></p>
