Synopsis:
New paperback edition. This is the first work that thoroughly and intelligently looks at Ginsberg's poetry in light of his Buddhist faith. It explores questions of poetics, religious authenticity, and political efficacy in Ginsberg's prophetic poetry. Trigilio examines the poet's Buddhism as an imperfect but deepening influence on the major poems of his career.
"Trigilio has done what is necessary to throw out once and for all the idea that Ginsberg's engagement with Asian philosophical and religious ideas anmount to no more than "an easy Easterness". For people who want to work on Buddhism, literature, and form, this work is groundbreaking." John Whalen-Bridge, author of Political Fiction and the American Self.
"Trigilio deftly combines modern theories of gender identity with poststructurural readings of the texts and displays an acute knowledge of the varieties of Buddhist practice." Kurt Hemmer, editor of the Encyclopedia of Beat Literature. |
