Ginsberg and Kerouac were both tortured souls. For both of them to have accomplished as much as they had, speaks volumes. Ginsberg's Howl is far more than just crude sexual overtones. It's an anthem. For not just one generation. But two! And both writers absorbed others' pains far more than the average person. And had the guts to write about it! ! !
I am grateful for such a beautiful comment. Richard...many do not know of the other side of the poet and poets and you are one of the few to know them.
