Tobias at PopMatters,

You seem to write things i always end up applauding.  It is that you write things which i enthusiastically agree with in feeling or thought.

This is another great article and i will be sure to pick up Ginsberg’s latest posthumous collection.

It is unfortunate that the focus on these authors is often on the charicature of Beat and their very important literary contributions undermined or marginalized.  Too often we forget that many of these writers, Kerouac especially, were religious writers and not fueled riots of experimental nights. 

This insight into young Ginsberg narrows people on the commitment he made to art and the craft of art. Hopefully, it will have something of the effect which the publication of Douglas Brinkley’s “Windblown World” had on the myth of the “On the Road” authorship.
