Read 3 times. Last read April 1, 1986 to October 31, 1986.

Along with On the Road and Naked Lunch, this is one of the central texts of Beat literature. Ginsberg’s line lengths, particularly in the title poem, reflect the influence of Walt Whitman, and of the oral tradition in poetry. The title poem is a profound cri de coeur.

Acquired 1986
Cheap Thrills, Montreal, Quebec
