#TedJoans "MY ACE OF SPADES"
Malcolm X SPOKE TO ME and scolded you
Malcolm X said this to me and THEN TOLD you that
Malcolm X whispered in my ears but SCREAMED at you
Malcolm X praised me and thus condemned you
Malcolm X smiled at me and sneered at you ...
Today I was fortunate enough to catch Ted Joans' exhibition in New York, 'Lady Liberty 1962-1964' at the Zürcher Gallery on Bleecker St. which featured fantastic collage-frottage drawings made in 1962-63. Great stuff!

Ted Joans at a Rent-a-Beatnik' party, probably in Greenwich Village in NYC.
(Village Voice photographer Fred McDarrah ran the Rent a Beatnik ad as a joke and found himself getting requests for the service. He recruited Joans, who earned rent money reading his poems at parties.)
