The interviews collected in this volume—chronologically arranged and is some cases previously unpublished—were conducted throughout Allen Ginsberg's career. Always a witty and engaging subject, Ginsberg considered the interview an art form as well as an opportunity to express his ideas. In these interviews from the late 1950s to the mid-1990s, he speaks candidly about his poetry, his literary influences, his experimentation with drugs, and his personal life—rebvealing details of his sexual affairs with fellow Beats like Jack Kerouac and his longtime relationship with Peter Orlovsky. Offering compelling new insight into this multigenerational icon, Spontaneous Mind is an important addition to the Ginsberg oeuvre.
About the Author:
Allen Ginsberg was a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and was awarded the medal of Chevalier de l"Ordre des Arts et Lettres by the French Minister of Culture in 1993. He died in 1997.

A fascinating self-portrait in interviews of the disarmingly candid Beat poet. "A thoroughly engaging read, stuffed from cover to cover with the kind of euphoric epiphanies that characterized the Beat writers' collective ambition"-San Francisco Chronicle
