omgitsnathan 142 Posted May 28, 2014 "I get down to Beat poetry" You're probably right because "Beat Poetry" is probably alluding to the Beat Generation of the 1950s. This could also be alluding to Allen Ginsberg, since she reads an excerpt from "Howl" in Tropico. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aaron 163 Posted May 28, 2014 Be poetry made sense to me when I heard it. Goes along with making her life into a work of art and all that. But beat poetry makes more sense now that you mention it. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
