Tony Towle began to write poetry in 1960, and soon became a part of the art and poetry scene that was happening in NYC with Kenneth Koch, Frank O’Hara, Larry Rivers, Alex Katz, and so many vibrant others back then.
Later on, John Ashbery would say, “Tony Towle is one of the New York School’s best-kept secrets.”
Well, he is not a secret here today.
I’m pleased to include him on the blog reading his poem “Digression.”
The video, Ken Angel Davis’s artwork, and the poem follow. Enjoy.
