About this episode
The prominent beatnik poet Allen Ginsberg would have turned 100 this June. To commemorate his birthday this Pride Month, we speak with writer Ira Silverberg, and reflect on his legacy as a pioneering gay, Jewish, and socialist writer and iconoclast. Plus we hear from listeners about their favorite Ginsberg poems.
