I'm a homosexual, which means I love men. And I'm a poet, which means I love words.

More from Allen Ginsberg
"To be a poet is a condition, not a profession."
"who blew and were blown by those human seraphim, the sailors, caresses of Atlantic and Caribbean love,"
"Who can live with this Consciousness and not wake frightened at sunrise?"
"If you don't have a story, you're not a human being. You're just a collection of cells."
"The only way to be truly alive is to embrace your own mortality."
About Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997)
American Beat poet whose Howl (1956) faced an obscenity trial and became a counterculture manifesto. Closely associated with Jack Kerouac (Beat novelist, On the Road) and William S. Burroughs (fellow Beat, Naked Lunch). For an intellectual contrast, see T.S. Eliot, high-modernist poet of The Waste Land — Ginsberg's open-line confessional Beat verse was a deliberate rejection of Eliot's allusive academic formalism — the two halves of mid-century American poetry.
