In these first journals the most important and formative years of the poet's storied life are captured, his inner thoughts detailed in what the \u003cem\u003eSan Francisco Chronicle\u003c\/em\u003e calls a \"vivid first-person account...Ginsberg's unmistakable voice coming into its own for the first time.\" Ginsberg's journals-so candid he insisted they be published only after his death-document his complex, fascinating relationships with such figures of Beat lore as Jack Kerouac and William S. Burroughs, and reveal a growing self-awareness about himself, his sexuality, and his identity as a poet. Illustrated with never-before-seen photos and bolstered by an appendix of his earliest poems, \u003cem\u003eThe Book of Martyrdom and Artifice\u003c\/em\u003e is a major literary event.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 1956, \u003cb\u003eAllen Ginsberg\u003c\/b\u003e published \"Howl,\" one of the most widely read and translated poems of the twentieth century.
