Wait Till I'm Dead: Uncollected PoemsAllen Ginsberg's poems, from "Howl" to "Kaddish" to "The Fall of America," have influenced generations of writers and made him a defining figure of the twentieth century.

Allen Ginsberg's poems, from "Howl" to "Kaddish" to "The Fall of America," have influenced generations of writers and made him a defining figure of the twentieth century. Ginsberg's Collected Poems, first published in 1984, and expanded in 1997, was originally thought to contain all of his poetic work. But now, for the first time, Ginsberg's stray poems have been gathered and the result, Wait Till I'm Dead is a landmark publication spanning five decades of Ginsberg's writing life.

The first new Ginsberg collection in over fifteen years, Wait Till I'm Dead is edited by renowned scholar Bill Morgan, with a foreword written by award-winning poet Rachel Zucker. Many of the poems collected in this volume were scribbled in letters or sent off to obscure publications and unjustly forgotten. Tracing the chronology of his life, Wait Till I'm Dead follows Ginsberg from his high school days and earliest political satire to his activism, spiritual maturation, and on-the-road experiences worldwide. The collection concludes with his personal thoughts on mortality as he watched his friends, and himself, grow old.

Throughout the collection Ginsberg pays homage to his contemporaries and poetic icons, including Frank O'Hara, John Ashbery, Robert Creeley, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, William Carlos Williams, and Ezra Pound. The selection also features several of Ginsberg's collaborative poems, works coauthored by Gregory Corso, Jack Kerouac, Ted Berrigan, Ron Padgett, Gary Snyder, and Kenneth Koch, providing an inside view of famed Beat poets and their relationships. Containing 104 previously uncollected poems and accompanied by original photographs and extensive notes, 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.

Good fit and fabric quality, and the button color doesn't stick out too much.
Size: 17" Neck 35"-36" Sleeve, Color: Black
Unlike some competitor shirts, the buttons in these are not BRIGHT white. (Subtle buttons are better for my usee.) Fit and fabric quality are both very good.

Some of these shirts arrived in perfect condition and looked flawless. ONE DID NOT!
Size: 20" Neck 37"-38" Sleeve, Color: Cameo Blue, Size: 20" Neck 37"-38" Sleeve, Color: Cameo Blue
Three of these shirts arrived in perfect condition and looked flawless. The sizing is fantastic: it matches the listed measurements and fits a curvy man’s figure perfectly. ONE SHIRT, however, did not arrive in perfect condition. It looks like they took it out of its original packaging, damaged it on purpose, and put it in a trash bag in very poor condition to ship it. Someone in management at this company should pay close attention to how the shipping and courier staff handle the company’s products, as this will have very negative consequences and generate unfavorable reviews for the company and its revenue. Look at the shirt on the far right!!
