I read this book off an on whenever I get the urge and need to learn more about the world. I'm not sure why I love it so much, but it's there upon my shelf. Normally I don't buy collections because I like to own smaller books (and I do mean normal size, not tiny easy to read books), but for this book, I needed for a class that I took. ( )

I haven't read every poem yet in this collection but what I've read piece by piece over the years is incredible. ( )

Ginsberg was where it was at for a long time. His spin helped us to look at our time from a unique perspective. ( )

Amazing! This volume covers Mr. Ginsberg's growth and development as a poet. It's nicely put together. I got to hear Mr. Ginsberg read his poetry in Norman, Oklahoma on March 4, 1993. He forgot his book to read from. A favorite professor of mine approached me and asked if Allen could borrow my copy of his book. So, my college paperback of Collected Poems says in the front "with thanks to Inga for loaning me this volume - Allen Ginsberg." ( )
