| Publisher Description: Allen Ginsberg visited sixty-six countries during his lifetime. He travelled to see the world, but each time he went abroad, he came back changed. These changes built up his personality and poetic style, essentially creating the man the world came to know during the 1960s - the world's most famous living poet and all-round peace icon. Travel was not just a passion; it was essential to his development as a poet and activist. His most famous poems were products of travel and his core beliefs - from free love to world peace - were ones found while wandering through the wider world. In this book, David S. Wills tells the story of Allen Ginsberg's life through the prism of travel. |
