Reality Sandwiches: Allen Ginsberg (Hardcover)

The Beatniks of the 1950s - Kerouac, Burroughs, Kenneth Rextroth, Lawrence Ferlinghetti - became a model for subsequent generations of drop-outs and alternative movements. One of their most eleoquent representatives was Allen Ginsberg, poet and singer, and now a professor in New York. Ginsberg was also, however, one of the millions who used a camera for purely personal pleasure, simply to capture the spirit of the moment. He photographed the Beat Generation with a $13 Kodak, using as models his friends, at that time still unknown to the outside world.
