Never read Ginsberg, except excerpts from poems

Posted on Sun, 03 Feb 2019

I guess they didn't make an impression. However, I do think I should go back and visit him and Woolf and a few others if I'm going to have any chance of understanding SOC. It's been a long time since I read On the Road and now I can't find my...

Great stuff it's about time we had poems about this problem

Posted on Sun, 01 Apr 2018

Brilliant poem Pops

Says it all  ..... well most of it. I think they really believed in what they were doing. My Grandfather lied about his age and signed up at 17. He was lucky he came home pretty much in one piece.

Hi Ewan what is this? Some kind of writing exercise?

Posted on Mon, 23 Oct 2017

Kind of reminds me of a game our family played at Christmas we called it, "Consequences."

I get your point (I think)

Link 1 - Buddism is a great idea, pity Buddist countries like Myanamar, Thailand and China don't get it.
