"The message is: Widen the area of consciousness."
"What it finally boils down to is that the fear is not about the drugs but about the police."
"To be a poet in a time of great stress, you have to be a prophet."
"I'm a beatnik, which means I'm against everything that's square."
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.
