I had a moment of clarity, saw the feeling in the heart of things, walked out to the garden crying.
Allen GinsbergI really would like to stop working foreverโnever work again, never do anything like the kind of work Iโm doing nowโand do nothing but write poetry and have leisure to spend the day outdoors and go to museums and see friends. And Iโd like to keep living with someone โ maybe even a man โ and explore relationships that way. And cultivate my perceptions, cultivate the visionary thing in me. Just a literary and quiet city-hermit existence.
Allen GinsbergI have a new method of poetry. All you got to do is look over your notebooks... or lay down on a couch, and think of anything that comes into your head, especially the miseries. Then arrange in lines of two, three or four words each, don't bother about sentences, in sections of two, three or four lines each.
