Synopsis "Selected Poems: 1947-1995 (Penguin Modern Classics) (in English)"

Chosen by Ginsberg himself from nearly fifty years of experimental, groundbreaking verse, this selection, in his words, ‘summarizes what I deem most honest, most penetrant of my writing’, and includes lesser known and later works which go beyond his iconic Beat Generation image. Presented chronologically, and ranging from early works such as ‘Paterson’ (1949) to selections from White Shroud (1980–85) and Cosmopolitan Greetings (1986–92), and including the classic poems Howl (1955–56) and Kaddish (1959–60) as well as songs, recent uncollected poems and notes by the author, this volume brings together the most intensely personal verse of a great American poet – incandescent explorations that expand the consciousness with their breadth of vision and depth of humanity.

Irwin Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997). Fue una de las figuras más emblemáticas de la cultura alternativa norteamericana. La publicación del poema Aullido (Howl, 1956) fue el detonante que consolidó la poesía beat y le dio forma concreta. Alma de la Generación Beat, reunió a su alrededor a Jack Kerouac, Neal Cassady e incluso al escurridizo William S. Burroughs y luchó sin descanso por la redacción y publicación de sus obras. Fue figura prominente de la llamada «Revolución de las Flores» y el hippismo de los años sesenta, peleó contra la guerra y el racismo, difundió el rock, la alteración química y mística de los estados de conciencia como elemento cultural y se situó siempre en primera línea social y literaria, promoviendo las ideas libertarias y las nociones de espiritualidad y autenticidad, por lo que siempre estuvo en el punto de mira de las autoridades. Viajó por el mundo recitando sus poemas.
