reflective

This collection has poems written in two very different styles, one of them being one I've never really encountered before. Ginsberg's poetry is heavy, full of cultural references, which was very interesting and stimulating but it did not give me the feeling I usually expect from poetry. That said, I'd like to read more by Ginsberg and learn more about his life, since his references are sometimes deeply personal.
