Remembering photographer Harold Chapman who passed away earlier this month at his home in Kent, UK at the age of 95. Best known for his iconic photos of the 9 Rue Gît-le-Cœur, later known as the Beat Hotel, where he lived for 5 years photographing its inhabitants who included William S Burroughs, Brion Gysin, Ian Sommerville, Gregory Corso, Harold Norse, Peter Orlovsky and of course Allen. He was in fact the last resident to vacate in 1963 when it changed owners (it’s now 4.5 star hotel ‘Relais Hôtel du Vieux Paris’)   In those days it was 1 pound sterling a day..and filled with penniless students.    Photo: Peter Orlovsky & Allen Ginsberg, Pl.

Irving Rosenthal along with Paul Carroll, founded the hugely consequential, but short lived Big Table Magazine after running afoul of the University of Chicago for publishing excerpts of William Burroughs' Naked Lunch in the Chicago Review Summer 58 issue.  The first issue, published March  1959,  edited by Rosenthal, was seized by authorities for obscenity, with the decision ultimately reversed by none other than Judge Julius Hoffman who conducted the Chicago 7 trial nearly ten years later.  The benefit reading was released on Fantasy Records and is still available as Howls Raps and Roars, and Howl & Other Poems (photos courtesy Stanford University Libraries / Allen Ginsberg Estate)

Simon Darlovksy says to me “Jack I’ve been looking for you for two days!  Where you been?  What you doin? Dyav any dreams lately? Anything great? Dany girls loosen your belt? Jack!  Look at me! Jack!” He makes me look at him, his intense wild face with that soft hawk nose and his blond hair crew cut now (before a wild shock)  and his thick serious lips (like Irwin’s) but tall and lean and really only just outa high school -- “I’ve got a million things to tell you! All about love!  I’ve discovered the secret of beauty! It’s love! Everybody love!  Everywhere!  I’ll explain it all to you -- “ Jack Kerouac, Desolation Angels Peter Orlovsky,  immortalized as Simon Darlovksy in Jack Kerouac’s Desolation Angels, snapped here in the apartment he and Allen shared, 1010 Montgomery Street,  North Beach San Francisco, Spring 1955.

In a letter to Jack Kerouac Allen wrote: “Gregory had a huge swanky party at Girodias’ Olympia Press St. Severin Cave velvet restaurant, his book American Express out, and I gave dreary conferences to ARTS newspaper with Algerian poets, also it was springtime, just about that time Hemingway was getting sick somewhere else. We all drove out to Celine’s house but he was also sick and not at home so we stared at his lawn full of rusty bedsprings..” #olympiapress #mauricegirodias #gregorycorso #peterorlovsky #allenginsberg #corsoamericanexpress #paris #manray #jackkerouac #beatgeneration #counterculture #writers (at Paris, France) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWMLHFjvU_M/?utm_medium=tumblr
