The only thing that can save the world is the reclaiming of the awareness of the world. That's what poetry does. -Allen Ginsberg Poetry
Poetry is the one place where people can speak their original human mind. It is the outlet for people to say in public what is known in private. -Allen Ginsberg Poetry
Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does. -Allen Ginsberg Poetry
