Context: Allen Ginsberg Live in London is a DVD film of Allen Ginsberg reading his poetry, singing songs and performing a Tibetan meditation live on stage in London on Thursday 19 October 1995, at Megatripolis club-night at Heaven nightclub, London. "A Supermarket in California" is a poem by American poet Allen Ginsberg first published in "Howl and Other Poems" in 1956.  In the poem, the narrator imagines visiting a supermarket in California where he finds Federico García Lorca and Walt Whitman shopping.  Whitman, who is also discussed in "Howl", is a character common in Ginsberg's poems, and is often referred to as Ginsberg's poetic model.  "A Supermarket in California", written in Berkeley and published in 1956, was intended to be a tribute to Whitman in the centennial year of the first edition of "Leaves of Grass". Born in Iloilo, Philippines, Loewinsohn and his family relocated Los Angeles in the United States in 1945.  They later lived in The Bronx and then settled in San Francisco, where he lived until 1967.  Loewinsohn credits this proximity to North Beach with his own development as a poet: "I graduated from Abraham Lincoln High School in 1955, with the Beat generation happening all around me.  I met all of the principals, heard Ginsberg, Snyder, Whalen and McClure read in Berkeley in April, 1956, and continued to write, mostly poetry, in that vernacular and (I thought) oracular mode."  Loewinsohn then traveled, married in 1957, and worked as a lithographer for 12 years.  In 1959, he published his first collection of poetry, "Watermelons" which contained an introduction by Allen Ginsberg and a prefatory letter by William Carlos Williams.  He also co-edited the little magazine "Change" with Richard Brautigan.  The poets who were most influential on his work included William Carlos Williams, Allen Ginsberg, Robert Duncan, Jack Spicer, Richard Brautigan, Philip Whalen, Gary Snyder, Charles Olson, Robert Creeley, Denise Levertov. The Life and Times of Allen Ginsberg is a 1993 film by Jerry Aronson chronicling the poet Allen Ginsberg's life from his birth and early childhood to his thoughts about death at the age of 66.  The film has been completed and released a number of times due to changing technologies and world events.  The first release of the film was in 1993 at the Sundance Film Festival after which it enjoyed an international festival run and USA theatrical run.  At the time, Ginsberg was still alive.  When Aronson showed him the film the poet is reported to have nodded his head thoughtfully and said, "So, that's Allen Ginsberg." Kerouac: Kicks Joy Darkness is a 1997 spoken word tribute album featuring late Beat Generation writer Jack Kerouac's work performed by various artists.  Notable performers include: Michael Stipe, Allen Ginsberg, Hunter S. Thompson, Johnny Depp, and Patti Smith.  Ginsberg's performance of "The Brooklyn Bridge Blues" is missing the final tenth chorus.  This was due to a faxing machine error which stuck the last pages together when Ginsberg was faxed the lyrics.  The final chorus is read by Eric Andersen instead, recorded on a DAT recorder from the Brooklyn Bridge.

Irwin Allen Ginsberg ( ; June 3, 1926 – April 5, 1997) was an American poet.  He is considered to be one of the leading figures of both the Beat Generation during the 1950s and the counterculture that soon followed.  He vigorously opposed militarism, economic materialism and sexual repression and was known as embodying various aspects of this counterculture, such as his views on drugs, hostility to bureaucracy and openness to Eastern religions.  He was one of many influential American writers of his time known as the Beat Generation, which included famous writers such as Jack Kerouac and William S. Burroughs. Reality Sandwiches is a book of poetry by Allen Ginsberg published by City Lights Publishers in 1963.  The title comes from one of the included poems, "On Burroughs' Work": "A naked lunch is natural to us,/we eat reality sandwiches."  The book is dedicated to friend and fellow Beat poet Gregory Corso.  Despite Ginsberg's feeling that this collection was not his most significant, the poems still represent Ginsberg at a peak period of his craft. George Simon Kaufman (November 16, 1889 – June 2, 1961) was an American playwright, theatre director and producer, humorist, and drama critic.  In addition to comedies and political satire, he wrote several musicals, notably for the Marx Brothers.  One play and one musical that he wrote won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama: "You Can't Take It with You" (1937, with Moss Hart), and "Of Thee I Sing" (1932, with Morrie Ryskind and Ira Gershwin).  He also won the Tony Award as a Director, for the musical "Guys and Dolls". Howl and Other Poems is a collection of poetry by Allen Ginsberg published November 1, 1956.  It contains Ginsberg's most famous poem, "Howl", which is considered to be one of the principal works of the Beat Generation as well as "A Supermarket in California", "Transcription of Organ Music", "Sunflower Sutra", "America", "In the Baggage Room at Greyhound", and some of his earlier works.  For printing the collection, the publisher Lawrence Ferlinghetti, another well-known poet, was arrested and charged with obscenity.  On October 3, 1957, Judge Clayton W. Horn found Ferlinghetti not guilty of the obscenity charge, and 5,000 more copies of the text were printed to meet the public demand, which had risen in response to the publicity surrounding the trial.  "Howl and Other Poems" contains two of the most well-known poems from the Beat Generation, "Howl" and "A Supermarket in California", which have been reprinted in other collections, including the "Norton Anthology of American Literature".
