Ginsberg's Brinkmanship

Panel: 
Rethinking Post-war American Poetry
Abstract: 

Allen Ginsberg dared the ideological state apparatus to act against him. His defiance bore an uncanny resemblance to John Foster Dulles’s foreign policy of “deterrence,” yet it did so in pursuit of a dissident culture rather than hegemony.
