Ginsy's Collected Poems
I just finished reading Ginsberg's collected poems, 1947-1997 -- fifty years and over a thousand pages of poetry. My overall impression is that he was probably the kindest, most moral member of the beat generation. When the other beats were penniless & borrowing money, ...
Junky: The Definitive Text of Junk (50th Anniversary Edition)
William S. Burroughs
Penguin (Non-Classics)

a different Burroughs
Junky could be the most effective anti-drug book ever written. This is not the William S. Burroughs of The Wild Boys: A Book of the Dead (Burroughs, William S.) and certainly not the same guy who wrote Naked Lunch: The Restored Text. This is a Burroughs who's not ...

Essential for Ginsberg Fans and Spontaneous Writers Afraid of Revision
Considering Ginsberg embraced Kerouac's "First thought, best thought," motto, Howl's 50th anniversary edition, which includes many photocopied pages of handwritten and typed revisions, proves Ginsberg did plenty of revisiting and change to those first thoughts. ...

Journals: Early Fifties, Early Sixties

This journal of Ginsberg, alone and with his friends, is insighful and crazy. Using long narrations and scattered poetry he lets us into his thoughts on just about everything. A must read for any Ginsberg fan.
