BRION GYSIN

My given name is Brion. My Celtic mother was thinking of one of those insufferable phony kings of Ireland and spelt it with an a: Brian. Official documents took care of that and spelt it Brion, like the famous wine of Bordeaux, Haut Brion. I accepted this gladly and dropped all my other given names when I became an American citizen.

Brion Gysin lost a toe on his left foot in a motorcycle accident in 1969. This photograph, from Ira Cohen’s “Bandaged Poet Series,” shows the injured foot.
