Description

Allen Ginsberg occupies a significant and enduring position in American literature. Following Ginsberg’s death in 1997, Barry Miles has drawn on both his long friendship with the poet and on Ginsberg’s journals and correspondence to produce an immensely readable account of one of the twentieth century’s most extraordinary poets.
