Death and Fame: Last Poems 1993-1997
Author: Allen Ginsberg
Desc: Allen Ginsberg was one of the bravest and most admired poets of this 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 greatest figures of twentieth-century American literary and cultural history. This singular volume of final poems commemorated the anniversary of Ginsberg's death and includes the verses he wrote in the years shortly before he died.
