This a beautiful book, that not only shares ginsbergs work but works with the images created by eric drooker to communicate the poems and songs vividly, providing candy for the eyes and mind. I'd recommend this book to anyone who enjoys ginsberg, no ginsberg collection is complete without it , in my opinion.
When the Light Appears...
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
In the tradition of William Blake, sumptuous paintings and drawings complement rather than describe the poems. Chosen by Drooker, the selections reflect the painter's political activism, but "Howl," "Sunflower Sutra," and "On Neal's Ashes" all are here, as are other lesser-known poems such as "When the Light Appears," which is featured on the Cornershop album When I Was Born for the 7th Time.
Wow!

This "illuminated" book of several of Ginsberg's provocative poems is great. I teach Ginsberg, often to undergraduates in college, and students often like a visual element in lecture. This is the text, to expand your understanding of both Ginsberg's world and our own.
