About this episode
[REBROADCAST FROM June 26, 2026] The prominent beatnik poet Allen Ginsberg would have turned 100 this past June. To commemorate his birthday during 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.
