"Robert Hunter: I remember talking with Allen Ginsberg about our mutual approaches to imagery. I said, 'You got a pretty good way with words, but, you've got a lot of cockroaches running through your poems.' And he said, 'Cockroach is a beautiful word!' Well, I guess it's just a matter of taste. I would tend not to use the word 'cockroach' in a poem because I don't find it beautiful.
I find a lot of Ginsberg's poetry empowering and good dharmic meditations, but there are too many cockroaches for me."
"This is truly for Ginsberg fans as it covers his entire body of work-including some of the not-so-good bits. Well, even the brilliant ones have their off days."
"So far i've dug the way Ginsburg's poems that deal with events in US History are very matter of fact, sure Ginsburg has his opinions but they're written in a wry, witty way so that they do not feel self righteous or preachy to his views."
