Gregory Corso was the man

Gregory Corso was a poet of the Beat period that really resembled the spirits of that generation. Fulfilled by the anti-establishment spirit, he wrote on many topics that seemed to be satirical and angry of societal norms. I read "Marriage", one of his most famous poems, and actually really enjoyed it. The whole poem is focused on his different imaginations of marriage and different situations of who he would marry and imagining the life he would have someday. He asks many rhetorical questions, common with the Beat characteristic of sharing a "sense of personal frankness". This can be expressed through his frank questions, an example being the opening line and theme throughout the whole thing: "Should I get married? Should I be Good?" The entirety of the poem goes into these thoughts of his almost cynical attitude towards marriage and all of his doubts of meeting her parents. There's a significant shift between the second to last stanza when he brings up the topic of love. Obviously, love is, or should be, the basis of marriage, but Corso is taking a cynical look on it because he talks about how he's forgotten about love going into a marriage. This is incredibly significant to the Beat period, as the tone of this period, according to the site, is "satirical, angry, and ranting as well as tender and meditative". Corso completely demonstrates these characteristics in his poem, Marriage.
