90 classic titles celebrating 90 years of Penguin Books

Sunflower Sutra features poetry by Allen Ginsberg, whose work fomented a social and political revolution. Renowned for its rawness and spontaneity, Ginsberg's poetry changed the course of the American lyric.

His verses explore themes of sex, death, and America, delivering a blend of profane and prophetic insights. The humour of his humiliations and self-transformations stretches consciousness and encapsulates an entire era.

"I saw you, Walt Whitman, childless, lonely old grubber, poking among the meats in the refrigerator and eyeing the grocery boys"

About the Author

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) was an American poet and icon of the Beat Generation. He is best known for Howl, one of the most widely read and translated poems of the twentieth century, and for his insights into the destructive forces of materialism and conformity in the United States of his time.
