Allen Ginsberg
I read Collected Poems 1947-1997 de Allen Ginsberg. The briefing says:
This is the essential record of one
of the most influential voices in twentieth century poetry.
Here, for the first time, is a
volume that gathers the published verse of Allen Ginsberg in its entirety, a
half century of brilliant work from one of America's great poets. Ginsberg
changed the course of American poetry, liberating it from closed academic forms
with the creation of open, vocal, spontaneous, and energetic postmodern verse
in the tradition of Walt Whitman, Guillaume Apollinaire, Hart Crane, Ezra
Pound, and William Carlos Williams. Ginsberg's classics led American (and
international) poetry toward uncensored vernacular, explicit candor, the
ecstatic, the rhapsodic, and the sincere—all leavened by an attractive and
pervasive streak of common sense. Ginsberg's raw tones and attitudes of
spiritual liberation also helped catalyze a psychological revolution that has
become a permanent part of our cultural heritage, profoundly influencing not only
poetry and popular song and speech, but also our view of the world.
Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) was an American poet. He was inducted
into the American Academy of Arts and Letters, was awarded the medal of
Chevalier de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French Minister of Culture,
and won the National Book Award for The Fall of America.
My
love has come to ride me home
To
our room and bed.
I
had walked the wide sea path,
For
my love would roam
In
absence long and glad
All
through our land of wrath.
…
Allen Ginsberg
Most of his poems go beyond the understanding I have of the English language. I do not despair since they at the same time awaken that Gringo poet I have inside me.
Then I write...
DO We Love
Each Other?
Love of hate
Love of love
There is love in every sight
In every moment
In every act.
I think I love you
But I know I don’t
I am still trying to save
This love of love
This love of hate.
Capcha. Are you reading me? If "U" are a real human being, just leave any letter of the alphabet in the comments icon. Thanks...
