Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Included. hardback in dustjacket, both fine unread,slight outward curl of dustjacket, 216pp. The author of Gentleman Junkie: A Biography of William Burroughs documents the zealous life of another Beat poet, Allen Ginsberg, and overflows with more than 150 photographs and illustrations. This tribute to the mother of the Beats (even though he was the youngest) shows Ginsberg as the lover of both William Burroughs and Jack Kerouac, as well as prophet and public face of the group-serving as Kerouac's unofficial agent for On the Road and helping Burroughs bring The Naked Lunch to the attention of publishers. From the publication of his first book, Howl and Other Poems, in 1956, Ginsberg became known as the champion of counterculture concerns: sexual freedom, pacifism, drug experimentation, opposition to censorship and authority, acceptance of Eastern religions, and most of all gay issues and the Vietnam War. His poetry is open, forthright, didactic and written fast without revision. Seller Inventory # 2011
