More from Allen Ginsberg
"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 spiritual person, and I believe in God, and I believe in the universe, and I believe in humanity."
"The poet is a criminal. He stands against the law."
"I have been wrathful all my life, angry against my father and all others. My wrath must end. All my images now are of heaven."
"I'm a great believer in the power of love, and the power of compassion, and the power of forgiveness."
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.
