Over all I really appreciated Ginsberg:s poems. I thought they were very brave and strong peices of work. His poems reveal a truth about life that I feel here in rural Vermont is unknown, and not very prominent. They capture the movement, the power and the excitement that was within the very distinct generation that Ginsberg was a part of.
I love how, through his punctuation and sentence structure, he creates a breathlessness in the reader. He forces the reader to keep reading until he is done with his point. I love the images that he creates, they seem not to be told through lots of fancy and smart vocabulary, but more with the way things sound together and the beat of the word itself.
I think that Ginsberg has taken our language and transcended it into a medium that can be used to portray an array of senses and emotion; the poems are inspiring.
