Summary:An insider's history of the "Beat" movement and its personalities through the personal photographs of one of its principle figures.

His subjects include Jack Kerouac, William Burroughs, Neal Cassady, Robert Frank, Paul Bowles, Timothy Leary, dozens of other writers, painters, and friends, and several revealing self-portraits. Beneath each photograph are Ginsberg's handwritten reminiscences of the circumstances, people, and places relating to the photograph. -- Amazon.com.
