I Told Myself I Wouldn't Call My Project Proposal "A Modest Proposal" so it's Called This Instead

Probably the most widespread, deepest connecting influence I can think of to write about is not just the themes of the stories, but their foundations themselves. Specifically, the language and rhetoric stemming from the Beat generation. Although all the Beat writers and poets used different words for different reasons in different ways, they all knew that this is where their power and influence came from. For this reason, I'd like to write about two of the most powerful wordsmiths from the day: Alan Ginsberg and Bob Dylan. I hypothesize that both artists are or were dedicated to using their voices and rhetoric to analyze and critique their country, and using Dylan's voice to articulate (perhaps more clearly) Ginsberg's message. What I envision for my final project is a rewrite of either one or a selection of Ginsberg's poems done in the lyrical style of Bob Dylan. I contend that in using Dylan's style as a lens for the poetry, it would make for a stronger, more punctuated telling of the morality and message of the work.
