John Wieners for me among top ten American poets visiting my room Park Plaza Hotel, Boston. We'd met 3 decades earlier at Cedar Bar, N.Y.-- Robert Creeley & Frank O'Hara both admired / his gifts then, _Hotel Wentley Poems_ were published 1958 - - but none of his books were in print at the time of this visit February 1, 1985.

subject_title	Lucien Carr, my oldest friend from college days, had introduced me to Jack Kerouac after they’d met at the West End bar on 113th St. & Broadway, and connected Jack + me to his fellow St. Louis uppermiddle-class (aristocrat we thought) confrère William S. Burroughs, late winter 1944. We lived down the hall from each other on 7th floor Union Theological Seminary, Columbia freshman dorm during W.W.II, I heard haunting Brahms sextet music through his door, knocked, we met. Kerouac heard _Old Angel Midnight_ eloquence in Lucien’s laconic “Celtic” intonations. Here four decades later, wise Old Dog Bureau Manager United Press International he was visiting former house-mate Alene Lee’s Soho loft. More eyes perused his wire-service prose than all Jack’s & my texts, I’ll bet. December 2, 1986.
