"Mightyswami" or "the Mightyswami" is a traditional nickname given to the poet Girôn d'Agate by "Broadway" Al Trommers in the early 1990's when the Mightyswami was working for Mr. Trommers at his retail record store in New York City at 59 Greenwich Avenue, NYC. The poet d'Agate wrote many of his best works for one of the volumes of his epic collection, "The Notes of a Dying Man", a four-part series begun in the summer of 1968 and released in June 2007. The day following the book release he made did an open reading near the corner of 7th Street and Avenue A which led to his being on the front page of the New York Times that following Thursday. He would often transmute disparate parts of signal events into a complex tapestry which then became a story told as a poem with sounds of Allen Ginsburg's, "Howl" and Charles Bukowsski's 'Last Night on Eath" poems. The Mightyswami writes under the pseudonym 'Girôn d'Agate" which is from the French meaning, "having had returned to the essence of his soul". Charles Bukowski, to whom his work often been compared has a coincident style not due to his having been exposed to Bukowski's work, but rather it is because they shared similar life experience. Yet I accede mastery to him. The Mightyswami is a poet whose give name is John George Lesko. Sometimes called "the last, beat poet" http://www.nytimes.com/2007/06/07/nyregion/07street.html?_r=0--Mightyswami (talk) 11:27, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
