The use of modern mass media and technologies by these artists made me realize that poetry was 75 years behind painting and sculpture, dance and music. And I thought, if they can do it, why can't I do it for poetry. Why not try to connect with an audience using all the entertainments of ordinary life: television, the telephone, record albums, etc? It was the poet's job to invent new venues and make fresh contact with the audience. This inspiration gave rise to Giorno Poetry Systems\" - Giorno Poetry Systems\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA1 – John Giorno: Everyone Says What They Do Is Right 5:11\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA2 – William S.
