Publisher's Note
"Ginsberg is both tragic and dynamic, a lyrical genius, con-man extraordinaire and probably the single greatest influence on American poetical voice since Walt Whitman."--Bob Dylan

Industry reviews
"His early poems have the energy of someone who has bitten through the leash. They're full of outrage, humor, apocalyptic idealism, verbal invention, and a curious, steady sanity."
Washington Post Book World - Robert Hass (04/20/1997)

"But for the public performances, but for the merry pranks, but for his transformation into near-bald but tanned and wise survivor, would anyone still listen to, let alone read, Mr Ginsberg? Doubters, of whom there were always many, would say, 'No.' So it is good to have the 'Collected Poems'....Like it or not, no voice better echoes his times than Mr Ginsberg's. He was a bridge between the literary avant-garde and pop culture. Like television and advertising, his language is full of slogans and syntactically unbuttoned. He is funny and volatile in his emotions, unashamedly (religiously?) frank about the demands of the body and its disappointments, scavenging in his literary references, fast and pre-packed in his judgments. Though maddeningly interested in his most banal reactions...he is at least open about his self-fascination. In a 'me-too,' instant playback world where every voice counts, why not write as it all is, here and now, for him?"
Jones
