I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked.

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Follow your inner moonlight; don't hide the madness.

I want people to bow as they see me and say he is gifted with poetry, he has seen the presence of the creator.

Follow your inner moonlight; don't hide the madness.

Fortunately art is a community effort - a small but select community living in a spiritualized world endeavoring to interpret the wars and the solitudes of the flesh.
