Interviews with Allen Ginsberg


Came across this quite randomly and it blew my mind nearly as much as MC Hammer's blog.

Wow, print it and read it, amazing stuff, these interviews tie together a whole continuum of protest, art, spirituality and honesty through spontaneous verse Zen poets, Whitman, secret police on both sides of the iron-curtain, obscenity trials, censorship, right through the 20th Century.

In fact, digging a little deeper, this whole site looks interesting:
