I made a casual reference to Allen Ginsberg's 'Hum Bomb?' in our post about the death of the world's oldest punk rocker, but I thought it would be a good idea to acquaint a new generation of poetry fans to one of Ginsberg's most seminal works. Please keep in mind, this man is widely acknowledged as one of the 20th century's greatest poets, and is a member of France's Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres. So you're just sure to be impressed.
I apologize for the quality of the video, but it's the only one I can find. If you'd like to spend more time soaking in the profound elegance and deep philosophical cadence of Ginsberg's masterful stanzas, you can find the complete text of 'Hum Bomb?' here.
