Allen Ginsberg can be considered a master of the beat era, with a free flow that keeps his readers attentive. His language, descriptive enough to paint a scenery as beautiful as the one we live in, puts us in the heart of his stories, making us feel as though we are characters within his poem... Thus far, I have found ginsberg's style of poetry most appealing, because however "raw" he may be, I feel as though he was one of few poets I could relate to. In his poem "Mugging (I)," Allen brought me back to the numerous summer nights of walking 14th street, and I feel as though I watched him being robbed of his possessions. My only "beef" with Ginsberg is the fact that his characters in his poems are a bit obscure, and at times I cannot match names to faces and descriptions...
