About this audiobook

READ BY THE AUTHOR

A collection of recordings written and read by one of the greatest literary and cultural figures of the twentieth century. The collection is accompanied by a special 64-page booklet containing the poems.

Upon the release of his first published work, Howl and Other Poems (1956), Allen Ginsberg became the unlikely force of a movement that would change a generation: art, literature, sex, love, family and politics. None would ever be seen the same way again. The Beat Generation was born. And with it, the legend of the free-spirited, rule-breaking, brilliant group of friends Ginsberg kept close--Jack Kerouac, William Burroughs, Gregory Corso, and Neal Cassady.

Including Ginsberg’s two seminal works, "Howl" and "Kaddish," as well as nearly two dozen other works, this collection celebrates a cultural icon who was of his time, ahead of his time, and whose legacy will transcend time. The collection includes such important works as:

  • Who Be Kind To
  • White Shroud
  • Footnote to Howl
  • Sunflower Sutra
  • America
  • Supermarket in California
  • My Sad Self
  • Wales Visitation
  • Sad Dust Glories
  • Plutonian Ode
  • My Green Automobile
  • Neal’s Ashes
  • Many Loves
  • The Names
  • September on Jessore Road
  • Father Death Blues
  • and more...
