Highly influential American poet (1926–1997) whose energetic, free-associative, often homoerotically charged verse made him one of the leading—and most controversial—figures of the Beat generation. His long poem Howl, published in 1956, remains a cornerstone of the 20th-century poetic canon. Glossy 8 x 10 close-up photo, signed vertically in black felt tip along the left edge. In very good condition, with scattered light creasing and surface marks. RRAuction COA.
