Poet Allen Ginsberg will give a reading to climax NAMBLA's 13th Membership Conference, scheduled November 10-12 in New York City. [...] America's premier living poet, Ginsberg helped launch the Beat movement in literature, both with the quality of his own work and his tireless promotion of other writers such as Jack Kerouac and William Burroughs. [...]

Through those same years Ginsberg has been engaged in political struggle, protesting the Vietnam war and the arms race and heralding sexual liberation. He's spanned generations with his activism and writing and has similarly been a charming, unselfconscious champion of intergenerational relationships, recording his love for boys with the grace and erotic power that marks much of his work.
