Bethany C. Meyers’ approach to body neutrality in working out and in daily life has been an important part of my relationship with my own body, and getting a chance to be interviewed for their book was an absolutely gift.

My partner and I had the joy to be photographed by Ryan Pfluger for his book celebrating queer love. Alongside our portrait, we were able to write to how our experiences as multi-ethnic/multi-racial individuals brought us closer together.

In a surreal turn of events, Emi Nietfeld chose to use a photo I took at 16 as the cover of her memoir from Penguin Press. The photo, film, and print were taken and developed during a photography institute at Interlochen Center for the Arts.

As a longtime fan of Radiant Human as a delightful person and as a traveling aura photographer, it was an honor when she reached out asking to use my photos and story showing a shift in aura photos over the course of about two years.

“The record re-issue is part of a collaboration between Peter Hale, manager of the Ginsberg estate and Nina Kossoff, of Esther Creative Group, a music management company. Kossoff, who studied literature in college, jumped at the opportunity to work on something a bit more bookish and began by arranging the re-release last year of Ginsberg’s 1994 four-album set, Holy Soul Jelly Roll onto iTunes.

She soon discovered that Ginsberg fans weren’t that interested in paying for an electronic download, when there were plenty of free or pirated recordings out there. Kossoff explained the same phenomenon applies to the contemporary music scene. When “paying for music” means listening to ad-enabled Spotify and Pandora, artists have to find profits elsewhere: concert sales, t-shirts, posters and books.

So what, then, could be done for Allen in the digital age?

Ironically, the answer was to return to the era of physical media, from whence Ginsberg came. She and Hale have re-released First Blues on vinyl –faithful to the original, right down to the newspaper insert and the typos on the packaging.”

“AltPress regular John-Allison Weiss had the opportunity to tour with Reed in the summer of 2012, as she once recounted to interviewer Annie Zaleski: “Lou Reed has a radio show every Sunday night on Sirius XM. My friend Nina Kossoff was working at ECG, the company that manages him, and was helping me a bit with promotion on the side. At the time it was her job to gather as much new music as she could every week and send it to him to potentially play on the show. He ended up playing a bunch of really old b-sides of mine and then coming out to see me play in Brooklyn. The next thing I knew I got an email from Nina about doing some dates with him in Europe.”

“Early last Friday evening, friends and fans of Allen Ginsberg gathered at the Rubin Museum of Art to celebrate the digital re-release of Ginsberg’s four-disc 1994 album Holy Soul Jelly Soul, co-sponsored by the Rubin, The Allen Ginsberg Estate, and Origin Magazine. Following a cocktail hour downstairs at the K2 Lounge, the crowd re-assembled on the sixth floor at the top of the museum’s breathtaking spiral staircase to hear poets deliver readings of Ginsberg’s extraordinary work, as well as their own poems.

After a welcome from Peter Hale and Nina Kossoff of Ginsberg Recordings, poet and Ginsberg-pal Bob Rosenthal fondly recalled getting into bed with Allen to transcribe the Jelly Roll liner notes as he dictated them.”

“Last Tuesday night at the Gagosian Gallery in New York City, Ginsberg Recordings—a new collaboration of the Allen Ginsberg Estate and music management company Esther Creative Group—announced its plan to release Ginsberg’s entire recorded library over the next two years. With the reissue of the famed collection to which Bob Dylan contributed, Holy Soul Jelly Roll, set to drop in mid-September, Ginsberg Recordings intends to put out a digital release accompanied by the original liner notes every few months.

After Peter Hale and Nina Kossoff, of Esther Creative Group, addressed the crowd to officially announce the formation of Ginsberg Recordings, a few of Ginsberg’s friends and colleagues came forward to perform and reminisce about the Beat legend.”
