Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) kept a journal his entire life,
beginning at the age of eleven. In these first journals the most
important and formative years of the poet's storied life are
captured, his inner thoughts detailed in what the "San Francisco
Chronicle" calls a "vivid first-person account...Ginsberg's
unmistakable voice coming into its own for the first time."
Ginsberg's journals-so candid he insisted they be published only
after his death-document his complex, fascinating relationships
with such figures of Beat lore as Jack Kerouac and William S.
Burroughs, and reveal a growing self-awareness about himself, his
sexuality, and his identity as a poet. Illustrated with
never-before-seen photos and bolstered by an appendix of his
earliest poems, "The Book of Martyrdom and Artifice" is a major
literary event.
