Literary Audio of the Day – Allen Ginsberg reading America, with music by Tom Waits

With all the political shenanigans going on in the States right now, I figure this is as good a time as any to share one of my favorite poems: America, by Allen Ginsberg. And this video is just rad, not only because it features Ginsberg reading his poem, but the one and only Tom Waits provides the musical accompaniment!

Enjoy!
