Description
The photo book unfolds Allen Ginsberg's own photos in the period from 1947-87. The characters are the same as in his famous poem 'Howl', and the images form an autobiographical, political generational portrait. They show the beat environment around New York and San Francisco together with i.a. William S. Burroughs, Neal Cassidy, Lou Reed, but also pictures from Ginsberg's trips to i.a. Nicaragua, Morocco, India and the Soviet Union. Each photo is complemented by Ginsberg's personal handwritten notes. The book begins with three essays by one of Denmark's own beat poets, Peter Laugesen
