A monumental event in American poetry, Get the Money! brings together the essential prose writings of iconic New York School poet Ted Berrigan.
Ted Berrigan was a leader of the New York School; his crazy energy embodied that movement and the city itself.John Ashbery, author of Self-Portrait in a Convex Mirror
Get the Money! was Ted Berrigan's mantra for the paid writing gigs he took on in support of his career as a poet. This long-awaited collection of his essential prose draws upon the many essays, reviews, introductions, and other texts he produced for hire, as well as material from his journals, travelogues, and assorted, unclassifiable creative texts. Get the Money! documents Berrigan's innovative poetics and techniques, as well as the creative milieu of poetscentered around New York's Poetry Projectfor whom he served as both nurturer and catalyst. Highlights include his journals from the '60s, depicting his early poetic discoveries and bohemian activities in New York; the previously unpublished Some Notes About 'C,' an account of his mimeo magazine that serves as a de facto memoir of the early days of the second-generation New York School; a moving and prescient obituary, Frank O'Hara Dead at 40; book reviews consisting of poems entirely collaged from lines in the book; art reviews of friends and collaborators like Joe Brainard, George Schneeman, and Jane Freilicher; and his notorious Interviews with John Cage and John Ashbery, both of which were completely fabricated. Get the Money! provides a view into the development of Berrigan's aesthetics in real time, as he captures the heady excitement of the era and champions the poets and artists he loves.
Praise for Get the Money!:
"Get the Money! captures the esprit de corps of the particular community close to Ted's door on St Mark's Place. This book of prose with its nimble lift, tinged with intimacy, wit, and perception is a welcome addition to the second generation NY School canon."Anne Waldman, author of Trickster Feminism
"Ted was my mentor, my teacher of America and its poetry, and I often quote him. He was an oral genius and I have regretted not writing down everything he said to me. Now I have this collection of journals, critical writing on art, aphorisms, and correspondence. It makes for a grand portrait of the poet who charmed my whole generation. Ted Berrigan is alive in this book in ways that no one could guess."Andrei Codrescu, author of Too Late for Nightmares
"It's always a significant occasion when we have an edition of a poets prose. Get the Money! offers us an important window into Ted Berrigan's laboratory, his no bullshit attitude, his class awareness, his gorgeous sentimentality, and his disarming anarchic humor. This book is what anyone could hope it would be: funny, tender, brilliant, intimate, original, alive."Peter Gizzi, author of Now It's Dark
"Ted Berrigan's voice has always been instantly familiar to me so Get the Money! feels less like a reading experience and more like taking a long walk with my favorite poet, then buying him a drink someplace and letting him talk."Cedar Sigo, author of All This Time

Among the most significant American poets of the later 20th century, Ted Berrigan (19341983) was a leading force behind the second-generation New York School. Born in Providence, RI, Berrigan attended various local schools, then enlisted in the Army and was stationed in Korea in the aftermath of the Korean War. In the late '50s on the G.I. Bill, he enrolled in the University of Tulsa in Oklahoma, where he earned a B.A. and M.A. During this period he met his younger poetic and artistic comrades Ron Padgett, Dick Gallup, and Joe Brainard, all four of whom moved to New York City. In the early '60s, he was married to the poet Sandy Berrigan, with whom he had two children, David and Kate. He later married the poet Alice Notley and, after periods in Buffalo, Chicago, New York, Bolinas, London, and Essex, settled with her and their sons, Anselm and Edmund, in New York City, where they eventually all became fixtures of the scene around St. Mark's Poetry Project. Berrigan published a magazine, C, in the 60s, and individual volumes by poets under the imprint C Press. His books of poetry include The Sonnets (1964, 1967, 1982, 2000), now published by Penguin, Collected Poems (2007) and Selected Poems (2011), both published by the University of California.

A prominent international poet, she edited the magazine CHICAGO and co-edited with second husband, British poet Douglas Oliver, Scarlet and Gare du Nord. Notley is the author of some forty or fifty volumes of poetry and prose, including The Descent of Alette, Mysteries of Small Houses, Grave of Light: New & Selected Poems 1970-2005, Coming After: Essays on Poetry, Benediction, For the Ride, and many more. She lives in Paris, France.
Anselm Berrigan was born in Chicago and grew up in New York City. He has published many books of poetry, including Free Cell (2009), a volume in the City Lights Spotlight Poetry Series.

Annotated Table of Contents for Get the Money! Collected Prose 1961–1983 by Ted Berrigan TB = Ted Berrigan ’60s JOURNALS The ’60s Journals stem from TB’s first stint living in NYC beginning in 1961; it’s a record of his early days, touching on his earliest breakthroughs as a poet, his relationship with his first wife, Sandy Berrigan, his friendships with the likes of poet Ron Padgett and artist Joe Brainard, who also moved from Tulsa, OK (where TB was going to school on the G.I. Bill after a stint in the army), and his meeting the first-generation poets of the NY School, like Frank O’Hara. A look at his early bohemian life. SOME NOTES ABOUT “C” This is a 1964 account of TB’s influential mimeo magazine “C” and the various lengths to which he went to get it made. Appearances by John Ashbery, Frank O’Hara, Kenneth Koch, Barbara Guest, James Schuyler, Andy Warhol, Joe Brainard, Alex Katz, Jasper Johns, Bill Berkson, Edwin Denby, Tony Towle, Gerard Malanga, Jim Brodey, Joe Ceravolo, etc. REVIEWS "Art and Literature: An International Review, edited by John Ashbery, Ann Dunn, Rodrigo Moynihan, and Sonia Orwell (#1, March 1964, $2.00)" Cheeky review of the first issue of a well-heeled magazine John Ashbery co-edited in Paris; the two major early perfect-bound journals of the NY School are Art and Literature and Locus Solus. "Lines About Hills Above Lakes, Jonathan Williams (Roman Books, $3.00)" Review of a pamphlet by the Jargon Books publisher and New Directions poet that TB suggests you steal rather than buy, given the exorbitant price. "Lunch Poems, Frank O’Hara (City Lights Books, $1.25)" Excellent review of City Lights’ homegrown classic. "Poems from Oklahoma (Hardware Poets) and The Bloodletting (Renegade Press), Allen Katzman" Review of a now-obscure poet who founded the East Village Other, an alt-weekly. "Poems: Aram Saroyan, Richard Kolmar, and Jenni Caldwell (Acadia Press)" A review of a joint publication; Aram Saroyan is the only major figure here (a concrete/minimalist poet and the son of William Saroyan). "In Advance of the Broken Arm, Ron Padgett, w/ cover and drawings by Joe Brainard (C Press)" Review of a mimeo booklet TB himself published under the “C” Press imprint; basically Padgett’s debut volume. "Nova Express, William Burroughs (Grove, $5.00)" “Review” that is really a cut-up of Burroughs’ novel, which in itself probably was a cut-up of some variety. "Art Chronicle" Round-up of the art shows TB saw and often reviewed for ARTnews. "The Anxious Object, Art Today and Its Audience, Harold Rosenberg (Horizon Press, $7.50)" Attack on the critic who coined the phrase “Action Painting,” which is sometimes used instead of “Abstract Expressionism” (the terms refer to the same group of NY abstract painters). "The Doors of Stone, Poems, 1938–1962, F.T. Prince (Rupert-Hart-Davis)" Review of a British poet championed by John Ashbery, among other people. "Pavilions, Kenward Elmslie (Tibor de Nagy, $2.00)" Kenward Elmslie (a grandson of Joseph Pulitzer) was an important force in the NY School, lover of Joe Brainard and publisher of Z Press. He is still in print from Coffee House. Elmslie is still alive (93) but is no longer active. "Saturday Night: Poems, Bill Berkson (Tibor de Nagy, $2.00)" Review of Bill Berkson’s first book, published by the still-extant NYC art gallery (who also published first books by Ashbery, O’Hara, Guest, Frank Lima, etc.) "New Directions 14, ed.

"Peace Eye: Poems, Ed Sanders (Frontier Press, $1.50)" Review of the Beat poet and Fugs founder Ed Sanders; “Peace Eye” was also the name of Sanders’ bookstore in NYC. Ferlinghetti published Sanders’ Poem from Jail as a City Lights pamphlet. "Desolation Angels, Jack Kerouac (Coward-McCann)" Review of a later Kerouac novel. Kerouac was a huge influence on TB, who considered himself a “late beat” rather than a NY School poet. TB interviewed Kerouac for the Paris Review.

THE ARRIVAL REPORT An account of the birth of Edmund Berrigan, which took place in Colchester, UK, while TB was teaching there. LONGER WORKS OF THE MORE ACADEMIC TYPE "Get the Money" A loosely jointed piece written for the East Village Other; poetic goofing around.
