“A Supermarket in California” is a poem written by Allen Ginsberg. Taking into account of the speaker’s past magnificent works, it made me think the author is trying to analyze his self-identity. Conceivably, this is Allen Ginsberg himself looking for a deeper connection with feelings of emptiness in his sub-consciousness. Is the author creating more space in his own sovereign reality? In other words, is this creating less dense by clearing out the disconnected emotions and readjusting with…

Allen Ginsberg began writing “Howl” circa 1954, a time when homosexuality (and sexuality in general), profanity, vulgarity, and illicit drug use were so tabu that even writing about such subjects was considered illegal and warranted arrest. Ginsberg’s poem should be read with the understanding of how progressive, revealing, and dangerous it was within the contexts of society. It shattered walls, gave a voice to the vagabonds, free-spirits, artists, and erotic people of not only America but the…

His optimistic vision does not come to fruition, leaving only his forlorn future to occur. Whitman’s prediction of this harsh future is expertly portrayed in Allen Ginsberg’s contemporary work describing 1950’s…
