Elise Cohen

It has occurred to me that I am the only person who has Elise Cohen listed as one of their interests- and this bothers me. Elise Cohen was the one woman who ever got into Allen Ginsberg's pants; she was in love with him till the day she threw herself out of the third story window of her parents' living room. They had picture windows, so you could say it was a very picturesque death. One of those truly tragic romances, etc etc... He, being gay of course, but loving her dearly platonically, and she, being helpless in regards to her commanding affection for him. *sigh*

Anyway, I'm going to be posting some of her poetry in here over the next few entries, and hopefully people will like her, and add her, and you know... Keep the memory alive. Cause... Part of me feels suspicious that when all is said and done, I'll go down in history as the girl-who-was-a-struggling-artist-friend-of-___________ and I know that I wouldn't want people to forget me, either.
