Allen Ginsberg was one of the bravest and most admired poets of this century. Famous for energizing the Beat Generation literary movement upon his historic encounter with Gregory Corso, Jack Kerouac, and William Burroughs in mid-century New York City, Ginsberg influenced several generations of writers, musicians, and poets. When he died on April 5, 1997, we lost one of the greatest figures of twentieth-century American literary and cultural history. This singular volume of final poems commemorated the anniversary of Ginsberg's death, and includes the verses he wrote in the years shortly before he died.

About Allen Ginsberg

A leading figure of the Beat Generation, Allen Ginsberg (1926–1997) was born in Newark, New Jersey. His poem Howl, first read in San Francisco in 1955 and published by City Lights Books in 1956, became the subject of a landmark obscenity trial. Kaddish and Other Poems (City Lights, 1961) followed the death of his mother. He shared the 1974 National Book Award for Poetry for The Fall of America: Poems of These States, 1965–1971 (City Lights, 1973). Ginsberg opposed the Vietnam War and campaigned for civil liberties across his career.
