Previously unpublished interview with Allen Ginsberg and Michael Rectenwald | 2 March 2015 | (Dangerous Minds) In 1977, Michael Rectenwald was a disenchanted pre-med student with a secret passion for poetry–Allen Ginsberg and his influences in particular. After a couple of years of covertly consuming, studying and writing poems, he found his interest in medical school had entirely evaporated, so he left school and dove further into writing, eventually sending a letter and some of his poems to Ginsberg himself. Not only did Ginsberg write back, he invited Rectenwald to apprentice him at the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics at Naropa Institute in Boulder, Colorado… See also: Tragic note from the final days of William Burroughs Jr. | 30 March 2015 | William Seward Burroughs III—better known as Billy Burroughs or William Burroughs Jr.–had one of the more tragically doomed lives in literature…At one point late in Billy's life, Michael Rectenwald–(poet, fiction writer and academic, who was at the time an apprentice to Allen Ginsburg at the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics at Naropa Institute in Boulder, Colorado)–was placed in a sort of care-taking position for Billy–no easy task for a college student. Nonetheless, Rectenwald saw Billy's devastating final days, and was the recipient of the heart-wrenching note below, left before Billy fled to Florida.
