    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) was an American poet and writer who became a leading figure of the Beat Generation in the 1950s. He is best known for his poem "Howl," which is considered a masterpiece of Beat literature and a landmark in American poetry. Ginsberg's work was known for its candid exploration of controversial topics such as drug use, homosexuality, and politics, and his writing style was characterized by its use of free verse and spontaneous prose.
    Throughout his life, Ginsberg was a passionate advocate for counterculture and social justice movements, including the anti-war movement and the fight for LGBT rights. He also became a teacher, mentor, and friend to many other writers and artists, including Jack Kerouac, William S. Burroughs, and Bob Dylan.
    Ginsberg's legacy has had a lasting impact on American literature and popular culture, and his influence can still be felt in the work of many contemporary poets and writers.

    I love both of them so much. I hope Ginsberg wanted us to read his works in the 2020's and analyze our current society based on what he was seeing in his time. Kerouac was more of a literal description of the experiences of a man of his time. But he put everything in such a poetic way. If anyone has ever read any of Ginsberg's prose he wanted us to wake up beyond the confines of society, no matter what time frame we live in. I can't eloquently summarize these guys but I love hearing their ideas on anything they have ever thought or experienced. They're almost akin to antiques with a story to tell

    Kerouac had interesting writing techniques and he was reactionary.

    I make my shield of protection larger
    Peek out to get a view of the world situation
    I can hear my heartbeat
    Weapons excitement freedom death
    Imaginations in vain
    Reviewed in blindness by 20/20 vision
    Imaginations in vain
    Another course correction
    No problem 'fix' the shield
    Yes I feel safe now
    Imaginations in vain

    I know they were friends but Jack should have flatened Allan's face for him after what he pulled. Ridiculous Jerkoff. Dirty little Weasel. The kind of lowlife that goes down on a guy when he passes out drunk and then goes and tells the world ,embarrassing both family and friends. And who can say how this may have affected Jack's soul and health which ultimately led to his drinking himself to death?

      Ginsberg was a degenerate.

      Benzedrine causes that erratic behaviour. Drug addiction or alcohol adicction plus painkillers produces an hipnotic joyfullness to write, but after that farmaceutic bliss, the morning after, despair here it comes, a gap, emptiness. Thats what Kerouaks was seeking, EMPTINESS. And he found it on Benzedrine.
