Summary
Penguin Modern Hardbacks—a new series of iconic works from the Modern Classics list with bold, mid-century-inspired cover designs.
Drawn from fifty years of experimental, ground-breaking verse, this selection, in Ginsberg’s words, ‘summarizes what I deem most honest, most penetrant of my writing’. It includes the major poems ‘Howl’ and ‘Kaddish’, but also important early work, songs, uncollected poems, and notes from the author that go beyond his iconic Beat Generation image.
