About This Item
San Francisco: City Lights Pocket Bookshop, 1956. First Edition. Very Good. First edition, first printing, first issue with Lucien Carr listed on the dedication page and a period after Harlem on the rear cover. Publisher's black wraps printed in blue with white wraparound printed in black. Very Good. Wraps toned and slightly wavy, former owner name to copyright page, pages toned. An undisputed cornerstone of beat poetry, Ginsberg's initial inspiration came from a terrifying vision he had during a San Francisco peyote trip. The poem defined a generation.
