"Poetry is the one place where people can speak their original human mind. It is the outlet for people to say in public what is known in private."
"I'm not a political poet. I'm a human poet."
"What if someone gave a war and Nobody came?"
"The message is: Widen the area of consciousness."
"To be a poet is a condition, not a profession."
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.
