Allen Verbatim: Lectures on Poetry, Politics, Consciousness
FROM BACK COVER: "This book's a record of a series of 'Cross-country Exchanges, Talks Lectures, Rhapsodies' undertaken by Allen Ginsberg. In a tour of the United States - from Washington, D.C., through Kent State and the Midwest, to California. In a variety of settings, Ginsberg talks directly with 'Fellow Poets, Students, Scholars, Sadhus' - a vast constituency of the young and old who see in his 'mind practiced spontaneity' a realistic an d good-humored escape from the 'prison of conditioning.'
