Allen Ginsberg - September on Jessore Road

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.
