Happy Birthday, Kenneth Burke! On this, the 123rd anniversary of your
entrance into the parlor.

And for those of you who have some time on your hands, here's KB reading
his poem to Libbie in 1986, a video collected on the "The First American
Poetry Disc: Contemporary American Poetry, 1987," which is archived in the
Allen Ginsburg papers at Stanford. Go the the 45:00 mark:

And then there's this great photo of KB from 1932 by George Platt Lynes in
the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago (and thanks to Ronald
Soetart for the lead on this one!):
