I Celebrate Myself: The Somewhat Private Life of Allen Ginsberg Paperback - 2007
by Bill Morgan
Published to coincide with the 50th anniversary of "Howl," this is the first full biography of Allen Ginsberg, from birth to death. 36 photos throughout.
Summary
In the first biography of Ginsberg since his death in 1997 and the only one to cover the entire span of his life, Ginsberg's archivist Bill Morgan draws on his deep knowledge of Ginsberg's largely unpublished private journals to give readers an unparalleled and finely detailed portrait of one of America's most famous poets. Morgan sheds new light on some of the pivotal aspects of Ginsberg's life, including the poet's associations with other members of the Beat Generation, his complex relationship with his lifelong partner, Peter Orlovsky, his involvement with Tibetan Buddhism, and above all his genius for living.
First line
ONE EVENING, while out buying the New York Times, Allen Ginsberg stopped to talk to a friend on the street while Peter Orlovsky went into a store.
