About this audiobook
This is one man's trip from the late l940's to the early ‘80's, with lengthy stops in the Beat ’50's, the anti-war/psychedelic ’60's, and the ineffable ’70's. Poet, mystic, consousness explorer, activist and singer, Ginsberg tells all about his activities and inspirations, from the literary trio of Blake, Burroughs and Kerouac to Tibetan Buddhism.
