Here, for the first time, is a volume that gathers the published
verse of Allen Ginsberg in its entirety, a half century of brilliant
work from one of America's great poets. As the chief figure among the
Beats, Ginsberg changed the course of American poetry, liberating it
from closed academic forms with the creation of open, vocal,
spontaneous, and energetic postmodern verse. Ginsberg's raw tones and
attitudes of spiritual liberation also helped catalyze a
psychological revolution that has become a permanent part of our
cultural heritage, profoundly influencing not only poetry, popular
song, and speech but also our view of the world.
