Description: In these most personal of pages we follow Allen Ginsberg from heady times of the San Francisco Poetry Renaissance and sojourns in the Arctic and Mexico, through his 1957 visit to Burroughs in Morocco, and adventures in Paris, Amsterdam, London, and New York. Rich in intimacy and reflection, vividly illustrated by reproductions from notebook leaves and contemporaneous photographs, Journals Mid-Fifties offers a startling, many faceted portrait of America's most influential living poet in the making.
