William S Burroughs Was born this day in 1914, 107 years ago.  Happy Birthday Bill!

Carl Solomon! I’m with you in Rockland
where you’re madder than I am
I’m with you in Rockland
where we wake up electrified out of the coma by our own souls’ airplanes roaring over the roof they’ve come to drop angelic bombs the hospital illuminates itself imaginary walls collapse O skinny legions run outside O starry-spangled shock of mercy the eternal war is here O victory forget your underwear we’re free (from “Howl”)
• Carl Solomon was born this day in 1930 in the Bronx. He would have been 90. It was Carl who got William Burroughs’ Junkie first published, the same year this photo was taken, 1953.

• Carl Solomon… several years after we were locked up together in residence on sixth floor ward, New York State Psychiatric Institute. He got shock treatments, introduced me to Jean Genet & Antonin Artaud texts, I stayed eight months, weekends out. Afterwards working mid-town at his uncle’s Ace Books Publishers, he edited William Burroughs’ Junkie paperback first edition. (photo & caption: Allen Ginsberg) • Carl Solomon, here snapped by Allen while on a fishing outing just up the street from Carl’s apartment in Pelham Bay, Bronx, September 1985. The two first met in 1949 at New York State Psychiatric Institute as Carl, coming out of Insulin shock treatment, introduced himself as Kirilov, protagonist of Dostoyevky’s “Possessed,” to which Allen, not missing a beat,  replied ’I’m Myshkin’,  protagonist of Dostoyevky’s ”Idiot.”  Remaining close friends ever since, Allen dedicated Howl to him, towards which Carl had mixed feelings at best. It was Carl who got William Burroughs his first book, Junkie, published. • #carlsolomon #allenginsberg #williamsburroughs #junkie #acebooks #beatgenration #bibliophile #poetry #poetrycommunity #artaud #dostoyevsky #howl #bronx (at Pelham Bay , Bronx) https://www.instagram.com/p/B56MB3bhV7_/?igshid=z92z7lsy4ibq
