Derweil im Leben von Allen Ginsberg

Das ganze Leben

1950s
Move to San Francisco and its circle of poets
In the 1950s he moved to San Francisco and worked as a market researcher; there he grew close to poets of the San Francisco Renaissance — James Broughton, Robert Duncan, Madeline Gleason and Kenneth Rexroth. A letter from his mentor William Carlos Williams opened the way to Rexroth; he also befriended Gary Snyder, Philip Whalen and Lew Welch.
1960
Treated for a tropical disease
It is speculated that a doctor then infected him with hepatitis through an unsterilised needle, which played a role in his death 37 years later.
1960s
LSD: demystification with Timothy Leary
Throughout the 1960s he took an active role in the demystification of LSD and, with Timothy Leary, worked to promote its common use.
1960s
Friendship with Bhaktivedanta Swami
On learning that the founder of the Hare Krishna movement had rented a storefront in New York, he befriended him: he visited often, suggested publishers for his books, donated money, materials and his reputation toward the first temple, and toured with him to promote his cause.
1962–1963
Wandering through India: Calcutta and Benares
With Peter Orlovsky he travelled extensively across India, living half a year at a time in Calcutta (now Kolkata) and Benares (Varanasi). When the authorities were eager to expel him, his political connections, most notably Pupul Jayakar, helped him extend his stay.
1962–1963
Meetings with Tibetan teachers in India
During an early trip to India with Gary Snyder, whose chanting of the Prajnaparamita, in Ginsberg’s words, “blew my mind”, he met the Dalai Lama and the Karmapa at Rumtek Monastery and, in Kalimpong, Dudjom Rinpoche, who taught him not to cling to anything horrible or anything beautiful.
