Allen Ginsberg
The Bard Himself... has been a Jewish Buddhist Queer Beat name of Allen Ginsberg. And his death, like his life, was a defining, orchestrated moment: a beautifully choreographed departure reminiscent of the final lines of “The Ballad of the Skeletons,” his venture into rock stardom at the age of 70: “That’s all Goodnight.”
