The illustrator Nathan Gelgud has celebrated both of them by drawing \u201cA Supermarket in California\u201d: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.signature-reads.com\/2016\/06\/an-illustrated-guide-to-ginsbergs-delightful-poem-on-walt-whitman\/\" target=\"_blank\">I think of an English professor I had as a freshman \u2026 He talked about <em>Leaves of Grass<\/em>, and put so much importance on which version of the book I should read that I thought the actual title was <em>Leaves of Grass Eighteen Fifty-Five<\/em><\/a><em> \u2026 <\/em>I heard later that the professor was arrested for having gone across the street and chucked corn dogs from the corner gas station at passing cars \u2026 Another eccentric who I think about when I think about Whitman is one of the other giants of American poetry\u2014Whitman\u2019s inheritor Allen Ginsberg \u2026 Ginsberg wrote \u2018A Supermarket in California,\u2019 a story about wandering into a grocery store in Berkeley, California and finding Whitman cruising the aisles, hitting on the grocery boys, and guiding Ginsberg out into the night.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Your favorite reality-TV star is really just a Jane Austen heroine. \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/entertainment\/archive\/2016\/05\/the-real-housewives-of-jane-austen\/484748\/\" target=\"_blank\">Her female characters are defined by two primary qualities: their privilege and their powerlessness. Her writing focuses almost entirely on women searching for stability and status, deploying the very limited means available to them.<\/a> Deprived of intellectual gratification or professional empowerment, they scheme, manipulate, and get bogged down in petty rivalries with each other. Their ultimate endgame is marriage, described by Charlotte Lucas in <em>Pride and Prejudice<\/em> as the \u2018pleasantest preservation from want.\u2019 That they do nothing of much more substantive significance (except, some of them, on rare occasions, be kind sisters or daughters) is their flaw, but also, as Austen portrays it, their fate. Isn\u2019t it weird? It\u2019s possible to imagine Austen, reincarnated with her bonnet and penchant for millinery, being moderately overwhelmed by the various cuts and colors of synthetic fabric worn by the contestants on <em>The Bachelor.<\/em>\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.slate.com\/blogs\/the_vault\/2016\/06\/01\/lists_gathering_the_lost_superstitions_of_early_20th_century_america.html\" target=\"_blank\">A 1907 book of American superstitions<\/a> confirms that we\u2019ve always been a delusional people. And a morbid people, too, as these sample superstitions suggest: \u201cIf you kiss a baby\u2019s feet, it will not live to walk on them.\u201d \u201cNever call a baby an angel, or it will die before the year is out.\u201d \u201cIf a fire puffs, it is a sure sign of a neighbor\u2019s quarreling.\u201d \u201cCarrying a shovel through the house\u2014bad luck.\u201d \u201cIf a white horse strays into your yard, one of the family will die.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Ever time-traveled? It\u2019s so much fun, if you\u2019re white. Mik Awake looks at what he calls the \u201cbygone bigotry\u201d that crops up in so many time-travel narratives, including, of course, <em>Back to the Future<\/em>: \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/theawl.com\/where-were-going-we-don-t-need-race-8c4a6ea741af#.n007jwltz\" target=\"_blank\">Nothing flaunts white privilege quite like a time-travel story. But in those narratives, the subject of historical racism, if it\u2019s handled at all, is often dealt with in a haphazard or obligatory way alongside other lesser concerns.<\/a> Our protagonist usually has some specified mission of more pressing personal import, but nevertheless, the movies remind us, in self-defeating winks and nods, about how much progress we have made on the race stuff \u2026 Whether it\u2019s Marty McFly in 1950s Hill Valley or Jake Epping in segregated Texas, the entire genre of American time-travel fantasy, with its chaos theory nerdery, butterfly-effect affectations, and desire to reshape the present, is irrevocably linked to the very real idea of white privilege.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Enough is enough. Let\u2019s visit a volcano. John Perry went to the Masaya, in Nicaragua: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lrb.co.uk\/blog\/2016\/05\/31\/john-perry\/welcome-to-the-hellmouth\/\" target=\"_blank\">In December the neck of the chamber got blocked, but a few weeks later rock falls reopened it, exposed a boiling sea of lava. The conquistadors\u2019 entrance to hell is visible once again.<\/a> In the city, the emergency services regularly practice handling the after-effects of an eruption. Residents view the volcano with suspicion, and don\u2019t trust the reassurances of scientists. Tourists can pay $10 to enter at night-time, peer over the crater\u2019s edge from the adjoining car park and see the incandescent lava a couple of hundred feet below. Holding their noses against the sharp tang of sulfur, they can climb the eroded steps to Bobadilla\u2019s cross for a better view of the hellmouth.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ginsberg and Whitman have birthdays only three days apart, and it gets even weirder: they\u2019re both American poets.
