Allen Ginsberg was one of the most politically engaged writers of his era, with a widespread social and cultural impact that was rare for a poet of his or any generation. In this volume, Eliot Katz provides a readable yet scholarly look at Ginsbergs most influential poems and explores the varied and inventive ways that he turned his political ideas and perceptions into powerful poetry.While there have been some important biographies and other books looking at Ginsbergs life and work, this is the first fulllength volume focusing primarily on how his writing works as political poetry and on Ginsbergs extraordinary influence on political culture over the ensuing decades. As a longtime poet and activist himself, as well as a friend of Ginsbergs who worked with him on a number of poetry and activist endeavors, Katz brings a unique personal, political, and literary perspective to this project.This bookincluding its chapter on Howl, which offers an astute and original guide to reading Ginsbergs most celebrated poemwill be of interest to students and scholars studying Ginsbergs poetry in college classrooms, as well as to general readers and writers who enjoy Ginsbergs work.
