| | Allen Ginsberg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Ginsberg's poetry was strongly influenced by modernism, romanticism, the beat and cadence of jazz, and his Kagyu Buddhist practice and Jewish background. | | | Ginsberg won the National Book Award for his book "The Fall of America." In 1993, the French Minister of Culture awarded him with the medal of Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres (the Order of Arts and Letters). | | | The trip disturbed Ginsberg and he later described it, along with his relationship with his mother, in his long autobiographical poem "Kaddish for Naomi Ginsberg (1894-1956)." |

| | Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) is cherished as the pivotal figure between the 50s Beat Generation and the counter-cultural revolution of the 1960s. | | | Ginsberg's first book of poems, the extraordinary Howl and other poems was published by Lawrence Ferlinghetti's City Lights press in 1955 and was subject to a famous obscenity trial due to its frank treatment of his homosexuality and explicit content. | | | His early experience included dissent: his mother was a member of the Communist Party and sometimes took her sons along to the local meetings. |

Ginsberg explained that the "unintelligible poems" were William Blake's "The Grey Monk." |

| | Ginsberg’s use of a gritty vernacular and an improvisational rhythmical style created a poetry which seemed haphazard and amateur to many of the traditional poets of the time. | | | In the last decade of his life, Ginsberg wrote and performed at the prolific rate of his youth. | | | With an energetic and loving personality, Ginsberg used poetry for both personal expression and in his fight for a more interesting and open society. |

| | Ginsberg followed 'Howl' with several other important new poems, such as 'Sunflower Sutra.' Now at a critical stage in his career, he was somehow able to avoid the 'fame burnout' that would soon engulf Kerouac. | | | The joyful craziness of his city friends somehow became a symbolic counterpoint, for Ginsberg, to the real craziness of his mother, whose condition continued to worsen until she was hospitalized for life and finally lobotomized. | | | Bearing a letter of introduction from the poet Williams, Ginsberg travelled to San Francisco and met Kenneth Rexroth, ringmaster of an emerging vibrant and youthful local poetry movement, which Ginsberg became a part of almost instantly. |

| | Ginsberg was greatly influenced by Keroauc's spontaneous and carefree style and often worked in a "stream of consciousness" manner until he completed a work. | | | Ginsberg was the recipient of numerous honors and awards during his lifetime including: the Woodbury Poetry Prize, a Guggenheim fellowship, the National Book Award for Poetry, NEA grants and a Lifetime Ahievement Award from the Before Columbus Foundation. | | | Ginsberg also once, influenced by Williams, arranged some of his poems "according to how you'd break it up if you actually to talk it out" and the latter was greatly impressed by the feat. |

| | Ginsberg has also showed up in the audience for several of her performances of the last couple of years, and has performed, among other things, his "Ballad of the Skeletons" on stage in appearances with Patti. | | | As a performer, she owes much to both the incantory rhythms of Ginsberg and the jazz recitations of Jack Kerouac, which she combines with the ancient tradition of the shaman -- the tribal sorcerer who acts as a medium for the other world. | | | As documented here nearly the first (if not the first) time she appeared on stage after those tragedies, was when she did a reading with Ginsberg in Ann Arbor, in early '95. |

| | The epigraph for Howl is from Walt Whitman: "Unscrew the locks from the doors!/Unscrew the doors themselves from their jambs!" Announcing his intentions with this ringing motto, Allen Ginsberg published a volume of poetry which broke so many social taboos that copies were impounded as obscene, and the publisher, poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti, was arrested. | | | The court case that followed found for Ginsberg and his publisher, and the publicity made both the poet and the book famous. | | | Whatever you may think of his talent, it is obvious that Ginsberg loved poetry and found his greatest happiness through the discovery of new forms of poetic expressions. |
