Cash Cow: The Best of Giorno Poetry Systems

A concentrated archive of spoken-word and experimental performance, Cash Cow: The Best of Giorno Poetry Systems gathers moments from John Giorno, William S. Burroughs and Laurie Anderson across radical spoken word, minimalism and early electronic experimentation. Released on Giorno Poetry Systems, the compilation foregrounds live readings, tape collage and stark synth textures — spoken-word pieces sit alongside industrial noise and minimalist experiments, documenting downtown New York’s late-20th-century poetry/electronic crossover.
