More from Allen Ginsberg
"The best poems are not written, they're ejaculated."
"I'm an existence, but I'm not a phenomenon."
"My own experience is that a certain kind of genius among students is best brought out in bed."
"The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion."
"Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does."
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.
