Though there is no direct mention of Beckett’s film Film in Ginsberg’s poem Today (Collected Poems, pp.345), the poem does mention both Beckett and Buster Keaton, who were not otherwise known to associate with each other, and seems to have been written around the same time (July 21, 1964). The poem preceding Today in The Collected Poems (from June of ’64), I Am a Victim of Telephone (*), also mentions Keaton, as does 1966’s To D.A. Levy, which says in part: “Buster Keaton died today”.
