When I was reading through much of Allen Ginsberg’s vast collection of poetry, at least the ones earmarked for this project, I was in search of something that was less overtly about a specific place and something more ephemeral and abstract. I didn’t think that Christian and I should be tied to something too specific or with a predetermined visual baggage. I also wanted to avoid poems that were stepped in Americana, fearing, perhaps, that Christian, being Austrian, would have little connection with such a topic. “Guru” stuck out to me as fitting right into those criteria and I feel that we were able to successfully visualize this most abstract poetic work. - – Taylor Deupree, January 2021

lyrics

“GURU”

It is the moon that disappears
It is the stars that hide not I
It’s the City that vanishes, I stay
with my forgotten shoes,
my invisible stocking
It is the call of a bell

Allen Ginsberg - Primrose Hill, May 1965
Planet News: Poems 1961-1967. City Lights, SF 1968
