More from Allen Ginsberg
"I don't do anything with my life except romanticize and decay with indecision."
"Everything is holy! everybody's holy! everywhere is holy! everyday is in eternity! Everyman's an angel!"
"We're in a situation where we have to create our own culture, because we're not getting it from the mainstream."
"No more to say, and nothing to weep for but the Beings in the dream, trapped in its disappearance."
"America I've given you all and now I'm nothing. America two dollars and twenty-seven cents January 17, 1956. I can't stand my own mind. America when will we end the human war?"
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.
