"This is the first work that thoroughly and intelligently looks at

Ginsberg's poetry in light of his Buddhism. Trigilio deftly combines

modern theories of gender identity with poststructural readings of the

texts and displays an acute knowledge of the varieties of Buddhist

practice."

--Kurt Hemmer, editor of ENCYCLOPEDIA OF BEAT LITERATURE 

 

"Trigilio has done what is necessary to throw out once and for all the

idea that Ginsberg's engagement with Asian philosophical and religious

ideas amounts to no more than an 'easy Easternness.' For people who

want to work on Buddhism, literature, and form, this work is

groundbreaking."

--John Whalen-Bridge, author of POLITICAL FICTION AND THE AMERICAN SELF
