Happy birthday to the timeless Elise Cowen! Your poetic brilliance continues to inspire generations, from your groundbreaking contributions in City Lights Journal and other literary gems, all the way through to your posthumous collection "Elise Cowen: Poems and Fragments," published in 2014. Clearly, you're still making waves—talk about staying relevant!We celebrate you today not just for being a Beat Generation icon but also for proving that great poetry never goes out of style. Here's hoping you're somewhere scribbling verses with Kerouac or sharing laughs with Ginsberg—because let's face it, heaven's coffeehouses must have one heck of an open mic night!
