4.0 out of 5 stars
Great book...and Pictures too,
This review is from: Screaming with Joy: The Life of Allen Ginsberg (Hardcover)
While this is not the most in depth book on Allen Ginsberg, it is a very good one. Screaming With Joy gives a brief overview of the life of the poet from his birth to his death, focusing primarily on his experiences and the social and political environments that made him what he was. If you do not know much about this incredible man and powerful poet this book is an excellent starting point; if you are familiar with Ginsberg you will definitely want to check out the over one hundred photographs and the quotations and anecdotes from his contemporaries that the book offers. All in all, I highly recommend this book.

A. Ginsberg,
By Jonny T "toocool" (Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Screaming with Joy: The Life of Allen Ginsberg (Hardcover)
This isn't an in-depth look at Mr. Ginsberg's life by any means. It's more of a picture book, text dominated by photos, some great photos. That being said, there are several kernals of gold to be mined from the text as well.

By A Customer
This review is from: Screaming with Joy: The Life of Allen Ginsberg (Hardcover)
Great photographs...but the woman in the picture on page 98 (seated between Ginsberg and Tim Leary) is incorrectly identified as "Mrs. Leary". She is, in fact, Peggy Hitchcock.
