I am a question, and I am an answer, and I am a problem, and I am a solution, and I am a cause, and I am an effect.

More from Allen Ginsberg
"The best poems are not written, they're ejaculated."
"Whoever controls the media, the images, controls the culture."
"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 not a beatnik. I'm a poet."
"There, rest. No more suffering for you. I know where you've gone, it's good."
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.
