More from Allen Ginsberg
"We are all vulnerable together, the sane and the mad, and in the end we will all experience madness in at least some secret or small way."
"Capitalism is cannibalism. It eats people."
"I'm a great believer in the power of the word, and the power of the image, and the power of the sound."
"I'm a guide, but I'm not a guru."
"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.
