Eckshewelly...
I think that Ginsberg's supposed magnum opus "Howl" owes a huge debt to Kenneth Rexroth's "Thou Shalt Not Kill," which is Rexroth's searing elegy on the death of Dylan Thomas.
DO NOT READ THAT POEM unless you have a very high tolerance level for extremely graphic descriptions of suicides, and other forms of violent death.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
