Want to hear Ginsberg's voice? You can see an animated cartoon of him reciting "America" (as well as a lot of other Ginsberg stuff) at the Official Website of the Ginsberg Trust! (Scroll to the bottom of the page.)
Thanks to the ever-inspiring Sergio Torres for first introducing me to Ginsberg's poem.
Anyone got links to any Hughes recordings?

"It occurs to me that I am America. I'm talking to myself again." - Allen Ginsberg
Youth Onstage!'s freshest young performers are engaged in a dialogue with their country, their audience, and with themselves, asking "Who speaks for America? What does America have to say? Who is America anyway?"

Today I met with Dan and Brian, the official directors of "America: A Conversation". I am one of the co-directors along with Serge. Both Serge and i were apart of previous youth onstage shows so this project will only help us to develope as directors. ....And.... I AM VERY EXCITED!
