ISBN: 0-06-019292-5
New York, NY: Harper Flamingo/Harper Collins, 1999. First edition. Hardcover. "Allen Ginsberg was one of the bravest and most admired poets of (the 20th) 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 great figures of twentieth-century American literary and cultural history. This singular volume of final poems commemorates the anniversary of ginsberg's death, and includes the verses he wrote in the years shortly before he died."(from front flap) With forward by Robert Creeley, & afterward by Bob Rosenthal.
