From Book News, Inc.
A comprehensive bibliography divided into two sections underlines the far reaching effects of the poet. The first section is a complete comprehensive guide to the foreign language translations of Ginsberg's work, arranged by language and subdivided by books, anthologies, periodicals, and miscellaneous publications. The second section draws together all publications containing biographical and critical material. The interviews, biographies, book reviews, and literary criticism form a chronological "bio-bibliography". Notes are provided after citations where necessary.

Review
A companion to The Works of Allen Ginsberg, 1941-1994: A Descriptive Bibliography, this volume lists translations of the poet's work as well as biographical and critical studies about him...Researchers will find the bibliography particularly valuable because many of the sources it covers will not be found in traditional print or electronic indexes. Morgan's chronological organization enhances the works' usefulness by providing an overview of Ginsberg's life and critical reception. A prodigious achievement, both volmes of this meticulously researched bibliography belong in all serious literature collections.Choice
