Allen Ginsberg's poem on the East Pakistan war - Bangladesh's fight for independence. I think Bob Dylan collaborated somewhere along the way too. In any case: this is a beautiful poem/song. Find the complete poem/lyrics here.
Found the image at the Allen Ginsberg Project - Easiest the best resource on Ginsberg, and the Beats in general online - including complete transcripts of his lectures when he taught poetry at various institutions.
A poem I wrote, 'Fathers' has been published in Cordite Poetry Review 37: No Theme. I am particularly proud of this, and I'm a bit awed by all the incredible names I have been published amongst. Please read my poem here - and make sure the other poems as well.
