Alan Ginsberg
I took it upon myself to read some of this man's poetry today, out of curiosity and out of respect. Here I am, a wannabe poet, and I haven't even read the works of this...god yet.
His work is simply amazing. Take the very essence of society, the pollution, drugs, sex, and industry, and translate them into a form that can be read and understood. That is what his poems remind me of.
So far I've read 'Sunflower Sutra', which is dark and simple and beautiful, and the first part of 'Howl', which is sepia toned, gritty, and stunning, and I am in awe. This is one creature I already adore, simply because of his passionate words and awe-inspiring imagry.
I do reccommend his works, even if you aren't a fan of the Beat Movement. If you're a punk, this is a must read--the punks of today wouldn't be here if it weren't for the Beat Movement. The Beat Generation was literally the first subculture in the modern era, so it may provide a little view with which people may find ideas and strength.
