» An Interview with Allen Ginsberg
“Invent your own poetics—invent yourselves. [William Carlos] Williams says, ‘A new world is only a new mind.’ I’m obsolete and bankrupt in the sense that I’m tied to old leftist ideas and old gay ideas and sixties’ ideas and meditation…. Probably there’s a whole new wave, through punks and beyond, that doesn’t have the same allegiances and that has a fresh view. I’d be interested in seeing what they do—like The Clash—I bought their album the other day.”
