A supermarket in cali
This another interesting peom just because when you look at the title you wonder is this really about a supermarket. Once again this is another poem that i read that i understood only bits and pieces of it. But going to class today helped to discuss what this poem was really talking about and what was the meaning of it. If i didnt look up who Walt Whitmand and Garcia Lorca were i would have never known they were very famous poets. At first i just thought it had to do with illegal activites that were occuring in a supermarket. That was obviously not what this poem was about but it was worth a shot. What i like about the poem is how both those poets are dead so therefore they are going back in time and see what america has gone too and they are pretty shocked at what they see. The only reason its in california is because Allen Ginsberg was at Berkeley at this time which was 1955. You need to look up words you dont know and then youll start to understand the true deeper meaning.
