More from Allen Ginsberg
"When you notice something clearly and see it vividly, it then becomes sacred."
"The only thing that can save the world is the reclaiming of the awareness of the world."
"Moloch whose blood is running money! Moloch whose fingers are ten armies! Moloch whose breast is a cannibal dynamo!"
"I’m sick of being a tool of the ruling class."
"No more to say, and nothing to weep for but the Beings in the dream, trapped in its disappearance."
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.
