i agree.
again, i strongly suggest to everyone to pick up Barry Miles's biography on Ginsberg.
reading about his life is extremely fun and inspiring as Miles wrote it very well.
another thing is you don't only learn about Ginsberg but new insights on Kerouac, Huncke, Burroughs, Carr, Cassady, etc
and the pages on the disintegration of Allen's mothers mind is utterly heartbreaking, everything he had to go through. 'Kaddish' makes much more sense.
when he meets Lucien at a dorm at Columbia in 1943 is where things especially get rolling.
i miss reading it and will probably buy a copy in the near future.
also his complete poems is a must have.
also, check out his photography books.
