Allen was born June 3, 1926. Our friends at the Allen Ginsberg Trust posted some photographs of the Kousa Dogwood planted on the grounds of St. Mark’s as well as the memorial plaques – also moving posts and links about Peter Orlovsky’s passing on their blog.  The church grounds are very active today with music in the park and a movie being shot on 11th, a lot of people stopping by the office. A lot of  action. Here Allen is with Robert Creeley in the West Garden of the church. (Photo (C) Laure Leber)
