Excellent the tribute to a poet who sometimes reflected as a country. Ginsberg is a poetic personality who has been exposed by the ideas of revolting against conventional drawing poetry. Poetry and poets daily existence...tried to impose as same in his creation........ So clearly defined Ginsberg's spirit by another poet Sally Evans.....congratulate the poet of this 33 lines on Ginsberg.
Enjoyed this poem very much, and congratulations for having it chosen as poem of the day on Christmas eve for three consecutive years now!
Enjoyed this very informative write. Your observations and thoughts expressed so vividly. Very good.
I like this phrase No one has shouted down America yet and made America listen and pause.
i like this- the poet is thinking out loud about the craft of poetry
I was reading a selection of writers on Why I Write, then saw your poem: the word was the sword, just word with an s, a reason to dance and a mandate to sing, a line to scribble and a truth to bring, to throw your mantle over everything Says it all, great poem, love it.
Wonderful, Sally, simply wonderful. I held my breath as I raced through this poem on first reading, then read it again, slowly, savoring every word.
A fitting tribute! I can see Ginsberg smiling as he reads this.
A worthy tribute. 'No one has shouted down America yet and made America listen and pause. You move inexorably clause by clause explain to America where to get off with a smile and a laff and a wave and a cough' - Loved these lines.
