More from Allen Ginsberg
"I don't do anything with my life except romanticize and decay with indecision."
"The universe turns inside out to devour me!"
"Our heads are round so thought can change direction."
"I'm a free spirit, but I'm not a wild child."
"I had a moment of clarity, saw the feeling in the heart of things, walked out to the garden crying."
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.
