"Gregory Corso's an aphoristic poet, and a poet of ideas. What modern poets write with such terse clarity that their verses stick in the mind without effort? Certainly, Yeats, Pound, Williams, Eliot, Kerouac, Creely, Dylan & Corso have that quality." (Allen Ginsberg, from his introduction "On Corso's Virtues.")
