"A thread of comments begun by Alex Call on Facebook’s Mill Valley Kids started me thinking about that stretch of Throckmorton which runs from Miller Avenue up toward Old Mill Park."

Leftwing activist, #BeatGeneration poet, and queer #counterculture icon #AllenGinsberg died on #ThisDayInHistory in 1997. An influence on my poetic voice, a former professor kept the only copy of a tribute I wrote ('For Allen'). I still play a recording of 'America' in classes.

"Şairler politikadan uzak durmalı ya da canavar olmalı. Ben politikayla canavarlaştım."

Amerika'lı savaş karşıtı şairin aramızdan ayrılışının 29. yılında saygıyla..

Literarischer #5April

„I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by
madness, starving hysterical naked,
dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn
looking for an angry fix.“

#AllenGinsberg #Howl Tod 1997

“I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked,/ dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn looking for an angry fix,/ Angel-headed hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly connection/ to the starry dynamo...” - #AllenGinsberg (died: 5 April 1997)

"In my dreams you walk dripping from a sea journey on the highway across America in tears to the door of my cottage in the Western night."

Although I studied Allen Ginsberg (on the right) in college, most notably for Howl, I’ve only recently learned about his longtime lover Peter Orlovsky (on the left). #peterorlovsky #allenginsberg #beatgeneration #howl #gaylovers #booksky #gaybooksky #queerbooksky
