Allen Ginsberg was one of the original Beat poets who were in prominence in the 1950s. I am celebrating 3 years of not smoking with one of his poems. I shall be writing about Ginsberg and his contribution to poetry in a future post. Meanwhile, please enjoy this (and don’t have nightmares). If you want to know how I managed to stop smoking

dear lynda,
thanks for featuring allen ginsberg, there is a film featuring his life story (which i forgot the title), and how his poetic prominence becomes influential to how the modern poems are being written today. i may be considered conservative but i admire the enormous talent that this man have. once again, thank you for your untiring efforts showcasing many great figures in arts and letters.
I wouldn’t mind watching the Alan Ginsberg film Marvin! I looked it up and it’s called ‘Howl’ and Ginsberg is played by James Franco. I will be featuring some more Ginsberg here very soon and some of the other ‘angry young men’. thanks for reading Maarvin – appreciated!
