New York’s
Top Twenty
Downtown
Poets
By Stephen Wolf
T
he top twenty of anything is subjective unless
numbers are determinates: the best batting
averages or tallest buildings. But irrefutable
facts aside, each of us with a love and some knowledge
of poetry will conceive a list bearing many of these
same poets listed here; the hard part is listing only
twenty. For nowhere in New York has poetry flourished
the way it has downtown, in part because that is where
the city began nearly four centuries ago, but more
significantly because poets have always sought haven
and camaraderie, cafes and bookshops in the streets
below Fourteenth, east side and west side, often settling
in those neighborhoods because other poets have settled
there before them. Each poet listed here has had a distinct
and intimate relationship with the city –sometimes with
love, sometimes hate, and occasionally with both in the
same poem, a tradition that continues to this day, and
they have left enduring imprints on the city by writing
of the city’s enduring imprint left on them.
E
xpelled from Columbia University generation before. A political activist, social
for writing an obscenity on the misty guru, and East Village notable, inspired by
window of his dorm room, Allen his mentor and model Walt Whitman, as
Ginsberg hung out for years in Greenwich well as the “precise real images” of William
Village bars before moving to the East Carlos Williams but infused with jazz and
Village where “you’d walk around hearing “spontaneous bop prosody,” Ginsberg
‘Rhapsody in Blue’ in your head.” His also lived on East 2nd Street, East 10th,
first East Village apartment at 206 E. 7th and finally purchased his own apartment
Street provided haven for poets, writers, in a building belonging to Larry Rivers
renegades, and social outcasts as well as on East 13th Street and First Avenue.
the setting for the iconic photo of Kerouac “Thinking Om Ah Hum/ didn’t stop
smoking a cigarette on the fire escape. em…” Ginsberg wrote in his frightening
Ginsberg’s epic poem Howl was as powerful and funny “Mugging,” he was happy to see
to his generation when it appeared in 1956 “my shoulder bag with 10,000 dollars/ full
as Eliot’s The Waste Land had been to the of poetry left on the broken floor.”

Developing Children
From The Inside Out
TEKSERVE
New York’s Shop for All Things Mac
“Teach children that they can achieve
and they will remember the lesson for life”
E. E. Cummings (1894-1962)
R
esiding at 21 East 15th before
serving in France as an ambulance
driver during The First World
War (his experiences as a prisoner told
in his novel The Enormous Room), E. E.
Cummings remained in Paris after the war
as part of the expatriates misnamed ‘the
Lost Generation’ by Gertrude Stein. Upon
returning to the city he settled in Greenwich
Village, moving in 1923 to his much-loved
4 Patchin Place off W. 10th Street and
Sixth Avenue. One of the 20th Century’s
most innovative and experimental poets
yet capable of reaching many readers, his
work is romantic, satiric, angry, bawdy,
and written in his characteristic style of
oddities of punctuation, capitalization, and
inventivenesswithtypographyandlanguage.
While not considered a poet writing of
New York, the city appears throughout his
work in juxtaposed and dream-like ways:
“at the ferocious phenomenon of 5 o’clock
i find myself gently decompos-/ ing in the
mouth of New York… In the soft midst
of the tongue sits the Woolworth building
a serene/ pastille-shaped insipid kinesis
or frail swooping lozenge…” In another
poem, while lying in his bed, “my eyes are
fond of the east side/ as i lie asleep my eyes
go into Allen street the dark/ long cool
tunnel of raving colour….”
