: I'd be interested in hearing people's favorite Beat poem or writer or whatever.
: I think the best poem of the Beats, perhaps of the last 50 years was Ginsburg' America.
: I think WS Burroughs was truly the genius of the generation. I don't know when his work will truly be acknowledged. Maybe never because of its graphic nature. But L. Bloom's Ulysses defecation was certainly appreciated over time.
I guess my favorite Beat writer would be Kerouac-particularly "Maggie Cidy" and "On the Road". I havent read any Ginsberg yet- but when i do, i will certainly look for this one!
