Illuminated Poems

A collaboration between two visionaries of different generations: Ginsberg, quintessential Beat Poet, and Drooker, artist of the Metropolis, have joined forces in this lavish full-color book. The groundbreaking poem "Howl" is included in its entirety, along with dozens of Ginsberg's songs and poems - some available only in this collection - accompanied by Drooker's paintings and drawings, which add a new dimension and urgency to the poets words.

"Ginsberg is both tragic and dynamic, a lyrical genius, con man extraordinaire and probably the single greatest influence on American poetical voice since Whitman."
-Bob Dylan

"Drooker's old Poe hallucinations of beauteous deathly reality transcend political hang-up and fix our present American dreams."
-Allen Ginsberg
