More from Allen Ginsberg
"I’m sick of being a tool of the ruling class."
"What sphinx of cement and aluminum bashed open their skulls and ate up their brains and imagination?"
"I'm a great believer in the power of love, and the power of compassion, and the power of forgiveness."
"Your machinery is too much for me. You made me want to be a saint."
"I'm not a beatnik. I'm a poet."
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.
