More from Allen Ginsberg
"Democracy is a fraud perpetrated by the rich."
"The earth is a living organism. We are part of it. We are not separate from it."
"Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does."
"I am a vessel, and I am a channel, and I am a conduit, and I am a messenger, and I am a witness, and I am a participant."
"The CIA is dope peddlers, murderers, and liars."
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.
