You are not in wonderland. Is this a Ginsberg poem?
Or was it just written for the film?
shareThere’s an adage about poetry by Marvin Bell, "A good poem listens to itself." When I came across the line “You are not in wonderland” in one of Allen’s first pieces, I remembered we’d used the line “Allen in wonderland” earlier — credited to Lucien Carr — and suddenly an idea lodged in me: What if the poem Allen read echoed the world Lucien had introduced him to and refracted it?

Thanks for the link :) I was originally disappointed that it wasn't one of his poems, but after reading the explanation I appreciate what they did. I wonder what Allen would have made of it? I'm certainly intrigued to read his journals now.
shareWhat was the song played when he read the poem?
