Asleep and Sleeping with Kenneth Koch

Enchanted by this little mys­tery over at John Latta’s Isola di Rifiuti, I set myself to poking around Google Books, which coughed up this page and its delight­ful list of the “key words and phrases” in Ken­neth Koch’s Selected Poems 1950-1982:

sleep­ing with women, circus girls, Thes­mopho­ri­azusae, Poros, asleep and sleep­ing, Frank O’Hara, O’Ryan, Saint Ursula, Fer­nand Leger, Jane Freilicher, Art of Love, John Ash­bery, William Carlos Williams, Ezra Pound, lim­burger cheese, Amba, poetry, brassiere, Larry Rivers, Strangler

No, kids, it’s not flarf; it’s just a little fun.
