Common themes include death, literature, decay of the human mind and political issues. Most of what he writes is marked my a rambling rhythm, reinforced by a lack or an abundance of punctuation. This all makes Ginsberg's poetry some intense, dark and challenging stuff. 'Howl' is a sort of lament of society. Often cited as one of the defining poems of American Literature, it's an all-out attack on hypocrisy, egotism, sexualism and the desire of trascendence. Again, very intense, but all the more memorable. 'Kaddish' is about his own mother, Naomi, who is institutionalized. Ginsberg describes her seizures, her bursts of insanity and how the family and himself are affected by this. Fragmented writing here, but it's one of his more readable poems, and rightfully a classic. The so called 'Other Poems' aren't just filling though. There's some very intricate work in the rest of the book. 'Mescaline' in particular is a very open-hearted poem about aging and preparing for death. Overall, one couldn't ask for a better introduction to Beat Poetry. As it is so very intense and raw (think abundant genitalia) this isn't a style that will suit a lot of people. It's probably more masculin. But for those who can handle it, and especially those who enjoyed any of [a:Jack Kerouac|1742|Jack Kerouac|http://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1287257192p2/1742.jpg]'s work, this should be a treat.

Beat movement icon and visionary poet, Allen Ginsberg broke boundaries with his fearless, pyrotechnic verse. This volume brings together the poems that made his name as a defining figure of the counter-culture. They include the apocalyptic 'Howl', which became the subject of an obscenity trial when it was first published in 1956; the moving lament for his dead mother, 'Kaddish'; the searing indictment of his homeland, 'America'; and the confessional 'Mescaline'. Dark, ecstatic and rhapsodic, they show why Ginsberg was one of the most influential poets of the twentieth century. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
