'On Neal's Ashes' is an insightful study of personal loss by Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997), a leading poet of the 1950s American Beat Generation. The poem's subject, Neal Cassady (1926-1968), was friend and lover to Ginsberg. Cassady was also a prominent Beat poet, who featured in Jack Kerouac's (1922-1969, Beat poet & novelist) 1957 novel, 'On the Road', as the character Dean Moriarty. #generallygothic #gothic #beatpoets #allenginsberg #nealcassady #jackkerouac #ontheroad #onnealsashes #beatgeneration #academic #poets #poetry #americanpoetry
