I enjoyed the article very much....left me feeling that perhaps the 'free spirit'Hope S. was a wakeup to the fickle mind of Gregory Corso......and G.C. wanted what he couldn't have.....she certainly left a permanent mark in his mind......and left me wanting to know more and more of what ever happened to her, I want to know more about her......I guess that's the reaction of people to most mysteries......PAM SCOTT

I have often thought that "Hope Savage" may not have been her real name. She was definitely a facinating figure in beat literature. "Hope Savage" could be a statement in itself. I would love to find out what became of her.
Hope Savage was absolutely her real name. She is actually my father's first cousin. My grandmother was Hope's father, Henry Savage's sister. I just so happened to pick up "The Blue Hand" not so long ago. It was only after I got home, that I saw it mentioned Hope. It is certainly a small world.
Margaret, Thanks for your post! Do you know what happened to Hope?
I do not. But, I do know she is very real!
Margaret - If it will not be too much of an imposition on Hope's privacy -- Please keep us posted.
Best wishes, Joy
