In this new biography, the first since the poet's death in 1997, Bill Morgan offers a revealing portrait of a complicated and flamboyant character. He examines Ginsberg's life and his impact on society from many different angles: his political views, his battles with censorship, and his approach to drugs. He also provides a more accurate picture than previously told of Ginsberg's search for love (including his complex relationship with his lifelong partner, Peter Orlovsky) and of his involvement with Tibetan Buddhism. He also lists the titles of Ginsberg's poems in the margins so that the reader can see exactly what he was writing at any point in his life.--From publisher description. 530 $a Also issued online. 600 10 $a Ginsberg, Allen, $d 1926-1997. 650 0 $a Poets, American $y 20th century $v Biography. 650 0 $a Beat generation $v Biography. 941 $a 2 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204055054.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110040833.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6D3085F028FB11E49E7A85DBDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
