His label, Counter Culture Chronicles<\/em>, includes readings and audio performances by Aram Saroyan, Charles Plymell, J\u00fcrgen Ploog, Stuart Perkoff, Allen Ginsberg, Nanao Sakaki, Angus MacLise, Ed Dorn, Ken Kesey, Joel Oppenheimer, Jack Kerouac, Gary Snyder, Ted Berrigan, Peter Orlovsky, Gerd Stern, Ira Cohen, Michael McClure, Fielding Dawson, Steve Dalachinsky, Neeli Cherkovski, Ed Dorn, and ruth weiss. My own cassette has just been released. The recording runs for 30 minutes<\/strong>.<\/font><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Van der Voort also organizes sound poetry\/poetry events in the Netherlands with the AVCEP Foundation (Archive For Concrete And Experimental Poetry), as well as the annual Fiery Tongues Festival<\/a> in Ruigoord (an abandoned village within Amsterdam squatted by a group of artists headed by former Provos since the early 1970s). He tells me a Jack Kerouac Centennial celebration is scheduled there on October 9.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
