The only thing that can save the world is the reclaiming of the awareness of the world. Thats what poetry does. – Allen Ginsberg

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. Its that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, thats what the poet does. – Allen Ginsberg

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
