Ginsberg, Allen. Howl and Other Poems. San Francisco: City Light Books,
Ginsberg, Allen. yawp and Other Poems. San Francisco City Light Books, 2001.Capitalizing on Capitalizing in Ginsbergs holler Ginsberg was a literary revolutionary as can be seen in his poetry. He pushed form and genre, theory and confrontation, confession and controversy right to the sceptre and over the doorway of societal standards. In pushing and pushing, Ginsberg creates a overbold vocabulary for certain talking to by capitalizing them and giving them the significance of the worthy noun. By capitalizing the first letter of certain words, Ginsberg gives a solid identity element to intangible things and redefines their role in a corrupted nightclub that has undone the best minds of his generation. Heaven, Terror, Time, Zen, Eternity, Capitalism, unquestioning earthly concern and Space find their niche among the cities and events in section one. None of the words begin a sentence and about are used multiple times, giving them even more severeness in their existen ce. Somewhere along the line the best minds of Ginsbergs generation expose their brains to Heaven, coweredlistening to the Terror, in the midst of polesilluminating all the motionless conception of Time and vanished into nowhere Zen, followed a brilliant Spaniard to converse about the States and Eternity, burned cigarette holes in their arms protesting the narcotic tobacco murk of Capitalism, or were run down by the drunken taxicabs of Absolute Reality (9-13, 16).Despite Ginsbergs rants towards hysteria and chaos, there is close to hope in the vulnerability of men who bared their brains to Heaven. in that respect is a strong virtuoso of redemption in the Eternity that is continuously referred to page to page. This also gives the minds some validity and a sense of ownership of... ...ey tie in with the Absolute Reality way of approaching the world. At the same time that he devalues Visions and Dreams, calling them, the whole boatload of sensitive bullshit, he also seems to fe el that way because they have been devalued by the States, rather than by be devalued in their own right (22). The few remaining capitalized words maintain that strand of hope that Ginsberg gave in section one. Even if America has devalued Dreams, Visions, and Epiphanies, they are still there for the taking in some sense. By the third section, Ginsberg has found some middle ground and solidarity. There is hope for the destroyed minds and corrupted America. Ginsberg attaches his own meaning to these words to stage up the minds vs. society and provides some eternal hope that stands outside of societys domination and gives everyone some ultimate answers and consistency.
