- Summary:
- An essential best-of collection is a bounty of Ginsberg captured in performance 1987-95, sometimes accompanied by a mini-pump organ of lush orchestration. The most influential American poet of his generation, Ginsberg is the king of hip verse, the poet-guru who personally ushered in a cultural counter-revolution with his mystical protest mantra, Howl.
