Great Regulars: Curiously, Allen Ginsberg's poem

"America,"mentioned here in the fourth verse, also uses the poem's title as a refrain, but Ginsberg's approach is Whitmanesque, perhaps biblical. [Alicia] Ostriker ventures further out of the Western world. However, a certain comic strain is common to both poets. Happy Thanksgiving!
