Hieroglyph Gumbo
Visual Arts Showcase & Multi-Media Links
edited by T.S. Minton
Soon this section will showcase work by celebrated South African artist Nico Vosloo and University of Arizona fine arts graduate and art teacher David Belcheff. These splendid pieces, and others, were intended to appear in the second issue of the literary and arts zine Hieroglyph Gumbo, founded at Boston University in 1990 by myself, Miami writer and pundit Daniel Calabrese, and West Babylon, New York philosopher-refugee Bret Rohde. With the irrepressible advent of the Internet, however, my notion of a print zine has gone the way of Easter Island. I'll keep our erstwhile title to christen this section, to signify its visual eclecticism. Until this vaunted graphic material goes online, this site will simply provide artistic and multi-media links.

Audio
Neal Cassady rap Listen to voice of Neal Cassady, prime hero of Beat literature and herald to the 60s counterculture, and read the transcription of his perambulating
and cryptic monologue by fellow Merry Prankster Ken Babbs. A back-up and truncated version of this recording is posted by aging hipster David L. Minton at this location, and here is another transcription.
"Howl" Allen Ginsberg's incendiary literary classic, read by the author at the classic Chicago Big Table reading. Go here for an online text of this poem. [both of these Beat classics are posted by the father of your ed., D.L. Minton]
