Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A rueful, battle-scarred, darkly witty observer of his own life and times.New York Times The sharp, lyrical, and no-holds- barred autobiography of the iconoclastic writer and musician Richard Hell, charting the childhood, coming of age, and misadventures of an artist in an indelible era of rock and roll.This valuable book . . is not only an absorbing cultural history but also a clear-eyed story that superbly channels the attitude expressed in the first blurt to his best-known song Blank Generation: I was saying let me out of here before I was even born.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. An outrageous spectacle of love between two untamed poets, a 27-year old man and a teenage boy, written by one of America's original punks and finest writers.Based on Arthur Rimbaud and Paul Verlaine's notorious affair, but set in the epochal downtown poetry scene of filthy 1970s New York, Godlike is a tribute to poetry and the beauty and mess of art, desire, and New York City.An outrageous spectacle of love between two untamed poets, a 27-year old man and a teenage boy, written by one of America's original punks and finest writers.Based on Arthur Rimbaud and Paul Verlaine's notorious affair, but set in the epochal downtown poetry scene of filthy 1970s New York, Godlike is a tribute to poetry and the beauty and mess of art, desire, and New York City.New York poet Paul Vaughn has a trick for enjoying poetry readings: He simply imagines the reader died a long time ago. Paul is twenty-seven, married, and an admired poet himself. R. T. Wode's mission is to give offense. He's also a poet, freshly landed in the city, and, at age sixteen, unknown.Paul worships T. They embark on a tempestuous affair, dropping acid and crashing parties and perambulating the grit and grime of New York City circa 1972. Paul is in love with T., but T. is in love with experience. Their relationship disintegrates.A novel of compelling originality and transcendent beauty by legendary musician and poet Richard Hell, Godlike transposes the notorious romance of Paul Verlaine and Arthur Rimbaud to the East Village in its squalid, glorious '70s heyday. The book comprises a version of Paul's 1997 hospital notebooks: diaries amidst poems and essays, along with, most pertinently, the poet's third-person memoir-novelette of his youthful time with the now-famous T. Godlike is infused as well with evocations-and sometimes actual poems-of many New York poets of the era, from Ted Berrigan and Ron Padgett to Edwin Denby and James Schuyler. It achieves a lyricism both profane and profound as it conjures the frenetic vitality as well as the existential malaise of an era. It's a searching meditation on art, life, love, and the impossibility of everything. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Condition: New. From an early age, Richard Hell dreamed of running away. He arrived penniless in New York City at seventeen; ten years later he was a pivotal voice of the age of punk, cofounding such seminal bands as Television, The Heartbreakers, and Richard Hell and the Voidoids-whose song "Blank Generation" remains the defining anthem of the era, an era that would forever alter popular culture in all its forms. How this legendary downtown artist went from a bucolic childhood in the idyllic Kentucky foothills to igniting a movement that would take over New York and London's restless youth culture-cementing CBGB as the ground zero of punk and spawning the careers of not only Hell himself, but a cohort of friends such as Tom Verlaine, Patti Smith, the Ramones, and Debby Harry-is a mesmerizing chronicle of self-invention, and of Hell's yearning for redemption through poetry, music, and art. An acutely rendered, unforgettable coming-of-age story, I Dreamed I Was a Very Clean Tramp evokes with feeling, lyricism, and piercing intelligence both the world that shaped him and the world he shaped.…
