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!):
