The Beat Movement as Lived by Ginsberg: “Allen Ginsberg was not only the Beat movement’s second-best-known luminary after Jack Kerouac; he was also its most assiduous visual chronicler. Ginsberg’s black-and-white photographs of Kerouac, Gregory Corso and others are definitive snapshots of an era.

Many photographs — as well as handwritten manuscript pages of Ginsberg’s poetry, audio clips, selected artwork, and video clips — are featured at www.allenginsberg.org, a Web site founded in March that is devoted to the life of the poet, who died in 1997 at age 70.

A work in progress, the site includes a Flash-enabled timeline that allows the user to click and drag on a picture of Ginsberg and take a guided chronological tour of his life.” NY Times
