Hey Ngaire,
I really enjoyed your understanding of Ginsberg’s “Sunflower Sutra”! The connections you made between Ginsberg’s awareness and perspective of the world around him and Blake’s “Ah, Sunflower!” was a great way to bring attention to the enduring nature of the Sunflower in a desolate environment and what this serves to represent.
I would have loved to see you go even deeper into your analysis of Ginsberg’s vision of Blake, and how this “light in the midst of darkness” would have reignited his vision and inspired him.
Great work, can’t wait to read more!
Josh.
