Whether criticizing the American government, protesting the war in Vietnam, or denouncing capitalism, Ginsberg gave voice to the moral conscience of the nation. His personal essays on Jean Genet, Andy Warhol, Philip Glass, and others, give us compelling portraits of his fellow artists. And his views on poetry, free speech, Buddhism, and the Beats reflect the concerns of the postwar American culture he helped shape.
Provocative, playful, eloquent, and of the moment, these essays offer a social history of modern America that remind us of the events and issues that preoccupied the minds of a nation — and one of its most influential citizens — in the postwar years.

reviewed Deliberate Prose: Selected Essays 1952-1995 on January 25, 2016 Deliberate Prose: Selected Essays 1952-1995
This is an engrossing selection of Ginsberg's prose, some previously published, some not, representing his views over a roughly 50 year period of intellectual, artistic, and political activity. His oppositions (to war, to war glorification, to puritanism, to government and corporate mind domination, etc.) and his celebrations (of art, of subjectivity, of sex and the body, of joy in the moment) are on full display. His skill and dexterity as a literary critic and celebrant in the company of such luminaries as Whitman, Kerouac, Blake, his knack for staying up on and close to the avant garde in music, art, literature, and politics, and his courage in speaking truth to power on behalf of the powerless and misrepresented, all of this is here and here in force. To engage with Allen Ginsberg is to be educated deeply, and this volume engages well.
