More from Allen Ginsberg
"The only way to deal with fear is to face it."
"I'm a son, but I'm not a mama's boy."
"I am a spiritual person, and I believe in God, and I believe in the universe, and I believe in humanity."
"I don't think there's any such thing as an ugly person. There's just a person who doesn't know what to do with themselves."
"The fact to which we have got to cling, as to a lifebelt, is that it is possible to be a normal decent person and yet be fully alive."
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.
