  Did Ginsberg Ruin Poetry?
Books

"I saw the best poets of my generation destroyed by Ginsberg...." This month marks the 45th anniversary of the first public reading of "Howl." It was an event which changed poetry. However, it was for the worse in my opinion, launching 10 million freshman poets off into the wrong direction of overblown rhetoric and apocalyptic cant.
