Allen Ginsberg is one of America's most distinguished living poets. Famous as a catalyst for the Beat Generation literary movement, his raw, innovative verse and provocative attitudes of spiritual, political, and sexual liberation have inspired countless poets, musicians, and visual and performance artists around the world. Selected Poems commemorates his brilliant career. Featuring such well-known masterpieces as the lyric Howl and the elegiac Kaddish, it also includes more recent works like the dream poem White Shroud, the visionary After Lalon, and the political rock lyric The Ballad of the Skeletons, a song he recorded in 1996 with Paul McCartney, Lenny Kaye, and Philip Glass. With a retrospective Apologia that places the poems from each decade in their historical and literary context, as well as accessible and illuminating notes and indexes, Selected Poems is a necessary addition to the libraries of all Ginsberg enthusiasts.The new generation reading Ginsberg's Selected Poems] will find...that Ginsberg's 'force field of language' still exerts a powerful imaginative pressure.--Helen Vendler, New Yorker.

Allen Ginsberg made his mark, along with Jack Kerouac, Gary Snyder and others, in the Beat movement, a poetry of social protest that refused perceived elitist boundaries. Tortured by the paranoia and mental illness of his immigrant mother, and by his own homosexuality in a society that was homophobic, Ginsberg's early work was as much a measure of his self-loathing as his detestation of social hypocrisy and injustice. His poems reached depths of humiliation and shame that presaged a mental breakdown, followed by recovery with the help of Buddhist philosophy. His best poetry rises above both personal despair and political propagandizing with satiric comedy, and cheerful self-parody, and is most readily appreciated when read aloud. This volume includes sixty pages of songs, some written in collaboration with Bob Dylan, which are not included in his Collected Poems 1947-1980.
