"Poetry is the one place where people can speak their original human mind. It is the outlet for people to say in public what is known in private."
"I'm not interested in being famous. I'm interested in being a poet."
"I'm a Buddhist, which is a religion that believes in reincarnation and that every living thing is sacred."
"The only way to find peace is to embrace your own chaos."
"The revolution is a spiritual one, and it's happening inside each of us."
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.
