Rainy night on Union Square, full moon. Want more poems? Wait till
I’m dead.Allen Ginsberg, August 8, 1990, 3:30 A.M. The first new
Ginsberg collection in over fifteen years, Wait Till I’m Dead is a
landmark publication, edited by renowned Ginsberg scholar Bill Morgan
and introduced by award-winning poet and Ginsberg enthusiast Rachel
Zucker. Ginsberg wrote incessantly for more than fifty years, often
composing poetry on demand, and many of the poems collected in this
volume were scribbled in letters or sent off to obscure publications
and unjustly forgotten. Wait Till I’m Dead, which spans the whole of
Ginsberg’s long writing career, from the 1940s to the 1990s, is a
testament to Ginsberg’s astonishing writing and singular aesthetics.
Following the chronology of his life, Wait Till I’m Dead reproduces
the poems together with extensive notes. Containing 104 previously
uncollected poems and accompanied by original photographs, Wait Till
I’m Dead is the final major contribution to Ginsberg’s sprawling
oeuvre, a must-read for Ginsberg neophytes and longtime fans alike.
