Andrei Codrescu is probably best known for his brief, brilliant and wry commentaries on NPR.
In this lecture he speaks about his spirited life in revolutionary poetry and publishing with a certain humor and respect.
During Q & A he and the audience discuss the value of small, self-publishing enterprises (zines, etc.) and also question the perhaps dubious advantages of the internet.
