Today we are going to look at three poems by Allen Ginsberg. Your assignment is to choose one of them and write a blog post (at least one paragraph) that discusses 1) The meaning of the poem connecting the contents with a major theme and 2) How the poem is postmodern.
POSTMODERNISM: Its main characteristics include
anti-authoritarianism, or refusal to recognize the authority of any
single style or definition of what art should be; and the collapsing of
the distinction between high culture and mass or popular culture, and
between art and everyday life. Fragmentation, dark humor and author
self-referencing are characteristics of postmodernism as is the idea
that there is no single truth.
