For the majority of his adult life Allen Ginsberg called New York City's East Village home; a locale fertile with creative stimulation. "The Charnel Ground," from his 1994 Cosmopolitan Greetings, derives its inspiration from Ginsberg's immediate surroundings. In the poem Ginsberg presents an undistorted view of the community's hardship and misfortune. A close reading suggests that the suffering and craving depicted fuel not only the poet's creativity, but his Buddhist compassion as well. On Ginsberg's home ground other people's pain is his own pain, not merely the isolated misfortune of a few. Noticing the adversity around him fosters genuine caring and compassion within the poet, and enables him to transcend the community's suffering.
