Frases de Allen Ginsberg

Irwin Allen Ginsberg fue un poeta y una de las figuras más destacadas de la Generación Beat en la década de 1950. Se opuso enérgicamente al militarismo, materialismo económico y la represión sexual. Ginsberg es conocido principalmente por su poema épico Aullido, en el que denunció lo que consideraba fuerzas destructivas del capitalismo y de la conformidad de los Estados Unidos.

Ginsberg era budista practicante que estudió ampliamente distintas disciplinas religiosas orientales. Vivía de manera modesta, comprando su ropa en tiendas de segunda mano y residiendo en apartamentos en East Village. Uno de sus maestros más influyentes fue el budista tibetano, el venerable Chögyam Trungpa, fundador del Naropa Institute, ahora Naropa University at Boulder, Colorado. A instancias de Trungpa, Ginsberg y la poetisa Anne Waldman comenzaron 'The Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics' en 1974.

Ginsberg participó en las décadas de protesta política no violenta contra todo, desde la guerra de Vietnam a la guerra contra las drogas. Su poema "September on Jessore Road", llamando la atención sobre la difícil situación de los refugiados de Bangladesh, es un ejemplo de lo que la crítica literaria Helen Vendler describió como la incansable persistencia de Ginsberg en la protesta contra la "política imperial, y la persecución de los sin poder".

Su colección The Fall of America ganó el U.S. National Book Award for Poetry en 1974. En 1979 recibió la medalla de oro del 'National Arts Club' y fue admitido en la 'American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters'. Fue finalista del Premio Pulitzer en 1995 por su libro 'Cosmopolitan Greetings: Poems 1986–1992'. Wikipedia

Belly to belly and knee to knee
Who’ll look into my hooded eye
Who’ll lie down under my darkened thigh?”

As I lay my body down
Between the ache of breath and breath,
Golden slumber in the bone.”

“Many seek and never see,
anyone can tell them why.
O they weep and O they cry
and never take until they try
unless they try it in their sleep
and never some until they die.
I ask many, they ask me.
This is a great mystery.”

“You assume we are all sexually stable; while on the other hand, as I have become acquainted with people, I find that they are all perverted sinners, one way or another, that the whole society is corrupt and rotten and repressed and unconscious that it exhibits its repression in various forms of social sadism.”

Several publications attribute the quote to Ginsberg, probably the first one is The Coevolution Quarterly in 1975 [Google books https://books.google.it/books?id=MylJAQAAIAAJ&q=%22ginsberg%27s+theorem%22&dq=%22ginsberg%27s+theorem%22&hl=en&sa=X&redir_esc=y], but there's is no evidence whatsoever that he ever pronounced it.

Misattributed, Ginsberg's theorem

“The only thing that can save the world is the reclaiming of the awareness of the world. That's what poetry does. By poetry I mean the imagining of what has been lost and what can be found—the imagining of who we are and the slow realization of it.”

Hadda be Playin' on a Jukebox (1975).
Hadda be Playin' on a Jukebox

“I could issue manifestos summoning seraphim to revolt against the Haavenly State we're in, or trumpets to summon American mankind to rebellion against the Authority which has frozen all skulls in the cold war, That is, I could, make sense, invoke politics and try organize a union of opinion about what to do to Cuba, China, Russia, Bolivia, New Jersey, etc. However since in America the folks are convinced their heaven is all right, those manifestos make no dent except in giving authority & courage to the small band of hipsters who are disaffected like gentle socialists. Meanwhile the masses the proletariat the people are smug and the source of the great Wrong. So the means then is to communicate to the grand majority- and say I or anybody did write a balanced documented account not only of the lives of America but the basic theoretical split from the human body as Reich has done- But the people are so entrenched in their present livelihood that all the facts in the world-such as that China will be 1/4 of world pop makes no impression at all as a national political fact that intelligent people can take counsel on and deal with humorously & with magnificence. So that my task as a politician is to dynamite the emotional rockbed of inertia and spiritual deadness that hangs over the cities and makes everybody unconsciously afraid of the cops- To enter the Soul on a personal level and shake the emotion with the Image of some giant reality-of any kind however irrelevant to transient political issue- to touch & wake the soul again- That soul which is asleep or hidden in armor or unable to manifest itself as free life of God on earth- To remind by chord of deep groan of the Unknown to most Soul- then further politics will take place when people seize power over their universe and end the long dependence on an external authority or rhetorical set sociable emotions-so fixed they don't admit basic personal life changes-like not being afraid of jails and penury, while wandering thru gardens in high civilization.”

“Of the Beat triumvirate, Kerouac was probably both the most pathetic and least noxious. Psychologically, he was a mess—as indeed were Ginsberg and Burroughs. But, unlike them, Kerouac lacked the knack of sanctifying his pathologies and inducing others to bow down in obeisance.”
