Description
Those only familiar with 'People Who Died' may not realize that Jim Carroll, like Patti Smith and Tom Verlaine, first started performing as a poet in the Lower East Side scene. This 1991 album takes you to the heart of that scene, St. Mark's Church on the Bowery, for a series of poems and monologues taken from Carroll's collections 'Living at the Movies' (1973), 'The Book of Nods' (1986) and 'Forced Entries' (1987), as well as a 14-minute improvised rant entitled 'The Loss of American Innocence'. Something of a greatest-hits poetry collection, this digipak reissue is essential for Jim Carroll fans!

Tracklist
1. Fragment: Little N.Y. Ode
2. Day at the Races (Live)
3. Times Square's Cage (Live)
4. Child Growing Up with the Sun (Live)
