Description: Whether criticizing the American government, protesting the war in Vietnam, or denouncing capitalism, Allen Ginsberg's political essays gave voice to the nation's moral conscience. His personal essays on Jean Genet, Andy Warhol, Philip Glass, John Lennon, and Yoko Ono, among others, drew readers into the lives and work of mythic fellow artists. Now, in Deliberate Prose, Ginsberg's essays are collected for the first time in one volume. Provocative, playful, eloquent, and of the moment, they provide a riveting social history of postwar America, and the events and issues that preoccupied the minds of an entire nation.
