Highly influential American poet (1926–1997) whose energetic, free-associative, often homoerotically charged verse made him one of the leading—and most controversial—figures of the Beat generation. His long poem Howl, published in 1956, remains a cornerstone of the 20th-century poetic canon. Two softcover books, White Shroud: Poems 1980–1985 and Snapshot Poetics, each signed in black ink, Ginsberg adding the date and his encircled “A. H.” symbol. In very fine condition. R&R COA.
