A Cum Laude graduate of Brooklyn College in 1944 , Kupferberg founded the magazine ''Birth'' in 1958 . ''Birth'' only ran for three issues but published notable Beat Generation authors like Allen Ginsberg , Diane Di Prima , LeRoi Jones , Ted Joans amongst others in the Beat circle. Kupferberg reportedly appears in Ginsberg's poem '' Howl '' as the person "who jumped off the Brooklyn Bridge this actually happened and walked away unknown and forgotten into the ghostly daze of Chinatown ". The incident in question actually occurred on the Manhattan Bridge, and is mentioned in the prose poem "Memorial Day 1971" written by Ted Berrigan and Anne Waldman: I asked Tuli Kupferberg once, "Did you really jump off of The Manhattan Bridge?" "Yeah," he said, "I really did." "How come?" I said. "I thought that I had lost the ability to love," Tuli said. "So, I figured I might as well be dead. So, I went one night to the top of The Manhattan Bridge, & after a few minutes, I jumped off." "That's amazing," I said. "Yeah," Tuli said, "but nothing happened. I landed in the water, & I wasn't dead. So I swam ashore, & went home, & took a bath, & went to bed. Nobody even noticed." (excerpt from "Memorial Day 1971" by Berrigan & Waldman) Kupferberg self-published the book ''Beatniks; or, The War Against the Beats'' in 1961 . In '' ( 1964 ), a collection of spoken word poetry, and '' Tuli & Friends '' ( 1989 ). Perhaps his best known book is '' 1001 Ways To Beat The Draft '' ( 1966 ), a satirical Collage created with Robert Bashlow . In 1967 he wrote ''1001 Ways to Live Without Working'', which actually contains 1005 ways to live without working, and also a number of very interesting old ads, for instance referring to raffles for slaves and unfailing ways to cure cancer and obesity. His most recent work is '' Teach Yourself Fucking '' ( 2000 ), a collection of cartoons that was published by Autonomedia . Kupferberg is active in New York anarchist circles. He was featured in a cameo appearance in the Richard Pryor underground film Dynamite Chicken and more recently in the Jeffrey Lewis music video for ''Williamsburg Will Oldham Horror.'' {Link without Title} SOME SONGS WRITTEN BY TULI KUPFERBERG
