More from Allen Ginsberg
"The universe is a symphony, and we are all instruments in it."
"Concentrate on what you want to say to yourself and your friends. Follow your inner moonlight; don't hide the madness. You say what you want to say when you don't care who's listening."
"Crazy in Moloch! Cocksucker in Moloch! Lacklove and manless in Moloch!"
"Illusion is dangerous, ultimately poisonous."
"We're in a situation where we have to create our own culture, because we're not getting it from the mainstream."
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.
