Review
A companion to The Works of Allen Ginsberg, 1941-1994: A Descriptive Bibliography, this volume lists translations of the poet's work as well as biographical and critical studies about him...Researchers will find the bibliography particularly valuable because many of the sources it covers will not be found in traditional print or electronic indexes. Morgan's chronological organization enhances the works' usefulness by providing an overview of Ginsberg's life and critical reception. A prodigious achievement, both volmes of this meticulously researched bibliography belong in all serious literature collections.Choice
