Literary Anthology on the Psychedelic Experience
    #7688230 - 11/27/07 09:08 PM (16 years, 2 months ago)

Hi all, for my English class we have been assigned a year Literary Anthology assignment. We are required to have varieties of poetry, drama, short stories and essay's in these and i have chosen to do mine on The Psychedelic Experience. It seems that books aren't very difficult to find but poetry and drama deffinately are.

Howl was a poem that stuck out to me, although i forget the author but that is only one poem, and Dramas i'm deffinately stuck on. Jacob's Ladder was suggested to me but that's kind of a sketchy thing.

So what i'm getting at is does anyone know any Poetry themed with psychedelics, or Drama's that have a theme or underlying concept of psychdelics or the philosophies/rituals of them?

Thank you for your time.

Wasn't Howl by Ginsberg?

I would suggest looking into the works of William Burroughs. His books are generally all centered around drugs, often ficticious, but inspired by his own life and drug experiences. I'm not sure how deep Aldous Huxley goes into drama or poetry, but he was deeply in love with LSD, so I would imagine he might have written some pieces you may be interested in as well.

Edit: Ahh, I have forgotten a good poem.

Kubla Khan by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. It was an opiate induced poem and might help to serve your anthology. Lewis Carrol of course would also have some poetry that would be of interest.

Once I had, a little game
I liked to crawl, back in my brain
I think you know, the game I mean
I mean the game, called 'go insane'

you should try, this little game
Just close your eyes, forget your name
Forget the world, forget the people
And we'll erect, a different steeple

This little game, is fun to do
Just close your eyes, no way to lose
And I'm right there, I'm going too
Release control, we're breaking thru
-The Doors

Songs, for this topic in specific, are viable poetry sources, i probably should have mentioned that but my teacher realized the somewhat dry amount of literary pieces on the topic and said songs were ok, a drama will be extremly hard to find though. I don't listen to much classic rock or whatever you might put The Doors or The Beatles into so i don't know much about those bands or any psychedelic related songs.

There's a drama called "The Clouds" that I saw once... I can't say for sure, but man, it had to have been influenced by psychedelics... i think it's an old greek play, and they are said to have ingested mushrooms

Idk if you could use the Electric Kool-Aide Acid Test by Tom Wolfe since it's nonfiction, but that's a definite pillar of psychedelic literature.
