Reviews
"Limiting his comments to background information, [Bill] Morgan lets Ginsberg's personality emerge above and beyond what his poetry reveals ... Having some familiarity with both men's work is actually unnecessary, as their lives and outlooks come through in this compilation of their correspondence. A good primer to convince readers who have not experienced the work of Ferlinghetti and Ginsberg to give them a try."-- Kirkus Reviews "There is a long awaited book of letters that passed between Allen Ginsberg and [Lawrence] Ferlinghetti himself, I Greet You at the Beginning of a Great Career . This one will be eagerly anticipated. Certainly it will intrigue all those who are keen to know more about why things happened and how. Personally I can't wait for this book in particular. To have new and fresh insight into the daily lives of the two key individuals in the Beat Generation story, well, you couldn't put a price on it. They touched so many lives."-- Beat Scene, "Allen Ginsberg and Lawrence Ferlinghetti will forever be linked as the respective writer and publisher of Howl [and Other Poems] , and this irresistible collection of their correspondence shows the depth of their friendship and working relationship ... These [letters] should interest even casual readers, but devotees will find most rewarding the book's central revelation: that while Ginsberg was Beat Poetry's face, Ferlinghetti was its hero, the key to so many great writers' success. Their affectionate correspondence becomes spottier as they make the switch to telephone calls, but the later letters are as striking and stirring as their very first exchanges. [Bill] Morgan has assembled an impressive volume that is a must for every Beat aficionado."-- Publishers Weekly , starred review "Collects the back and forth of a patient editor and his house's bright star, who, when he wasn't trying to be the next Whitman (the beard, the bulk, the breathless lists) or Coleridge (the metaphysics of debauchery), fancied himself a literary agent, P.R. rep, and distributor--a one-man Amazon.com, fueled by cigarettes, amphetamines, and ayahuasca ... Ferlinghetti, for his part, remained caustic, cautious, and discerning: he said yes to Kerouac and Corso, and no to Whalen, Snyder, and Peter Orlovsky, Ginsberg's lover: 'You're a movement in yerself,' he wrote."--Joshua Cohen, Harper's "Limiting his comments to background information, [Bill] Morgan lets Ginsberg's personality emerge above and beyond what his poetry reveals ... Having some familiarity with both men's work is actually unnecessary, as their lives and outlooks come through in this compilation of their correspondence. A good primer to convince readers who have not experienced the work of Ferlinghetti and Ginsberg to give them a try."-- Kirkus Reviews "[H]ere is a four-decade exchange of gossip, chitchat, travelog, and thoughts on writing between two committed poets--Ginsberg, an exceptional poet--who worked diligently to promote the Beat ethos. Most of the missives, compiled by archivist [Bill] Morgan, have never before been published ... Both were generous, high-spirited men who not only practiced their craft but thought about it deeply ... Indispensable for scholars but of interest to lovers of the Beats and contemporary poetry, too."-- Library Journal "There is a long awaited book of letters that passed between Allen Ginsberg and [Lawrence] Ferlinghetti himself, I Greet You at the Beginning of a Great Career . This one will be eagerly anticipated. Certainly it will intrigue all those who are keen to know more about why things happened and how. Personally I can't wait for this book in particular. To have new and fresh insight into the daily lives of the two key individuals in the Beat Generation story, well, you couldn't put a price on it. They touched so many lives."-- Beat Scene "Lawrence Ferlinghetti wrote an indelible chapter of San Francisco history when he founded City Lights Books in 1955. In addition to volumes of poetry by himself and others, the legendary Beat poet published a book that would rock the literary world. Allen Ginsberg's Howl and Other Poems introduced a new kind of American poetry, and when Ferlinghetti was slapped with an obscenity charge for putting it on the market, the case established City Lights as a champion of artistic freedom. This volume of letters between Ferlinghetti and Ginsberg--published for the first time--marks City Lights' 60th anniversary."-- San Jose Mercury News, "Allen Ginsberg and Lawrence Ferlinghetti will forever be linked as the respective writer and publisher of Howl [and Other Poems] , and this irresistible collection of their correspondence shows the depth of their friendship and working relationship ...

Indispensable for scholars but of interest to lovers of the Beats and contemporary poetry, too."-- Library Journal "This volume provides the reader with unique insight into the evolving relationship between the young poet Allen Ginsberg and his publisher Lawrence Ferlinghetti, who was equally new to the publishing field with his launching of City Lights Publishers in 1955 ... Equally all of these letters are selected and annotated with the skillful touch of Bill Morgan. He has adroitly sifted a myriad of poetry, scraps of notes, the letters themselves and collectively edited the letters into a shiny testament of mutual love for which the voice of Lawrence Ferlinghetti and Allen Ginsberg shine through."--R. I. Sutherland-Cohen, Beat Scene "Lawrence Ferlinghetti wrote an indelible chapter of San Francisco history when he founded City Lights Books in 1955.
