It's 2021. I've built a ceremonial mask of broken iPhones and am limping back to the podcast party. Today's Beautiful Mutant is my street poet mentor, Walt Curtis. Walt epitomizes bohemian living. He is best known as the author of Mala Noche, the novella that became Gus Van Sant's first film. His other writing includes Rhymes for Alice Bluelight, Medusa's Love, Angel Pussy and awesome the early 1960's Proto-zine The Mad Bombers Notebook. Curtis is the subject of the ecological art film Salmon Poet, made by Sabrina Guitart and the late lovely, James Honzik.  As someone six months shy of being an octogenarian, Walt's perspective on art and life are totally uninfluenced by the toxicities of the internet. A refreshing perspective to be sure. Talk with your elders. They have wonderful things to say.
