Summary: brilliant
Comment: Ginsberg's startling, erratic genius is on display in this alternately inspiring and exasperating volume. I give it 5 stars because Ginsberg MUST be read and appreciated; the man changed the face of poetry, as well as pop culture, holding enormous influence over Bob Dylan, who would reinvent rock and roll and help inspire a cultural revolution. Why Ginsberg was not awarded a Nobel is astonishing to me.
Rating: 5
Summary: Ginsberg is the ultimate
Comment: I checked this book out at the library thinking that I would like one or two poems in it besides Howl. After I had read it cover to cover and was completely amazed at Ginsberg's style and complete passion, I didn't want to return it. To bad that the librarian thought differently.

Summary: Comprehensive coverage of the enfant terrible.
Comment: A bizarre mixture of Blake, Whitman and Williams, Allen Ginsbergs poetry has at the same time lampooned as the scribings of a mentally unstable homosexual and praised as the musings of an American genius. Whatever the take, Ginsberg is certainly enagaging. Chronicling everything from his own psycholgical frailty to the evils of capitalism, the trials of Judaism to buddhist meditation, "sprawling" hardly begins to describe the breadth of Ginsbergs work. Indeed, he represents such a wide sphere of American consciousness and American society, that it is impossible not to be impressed by something in this volume that covers 33 years of his work. At the very least he is erratic.Most of the time, he's just down right crazy.And that's a big part of the charm.
