## Description

The Hebrew mourning prayer-and the death of Ginsberg's mother in a mental hospital-inspired one of the great works of the Beat generation. This 1966 Atlantic LP finds Ginsberg reading his "ecstatic American narrative poem" to a rapt crowd at Brandeis in '64, and this reissue couples the poet's original liners with in-depth notes by scholar Harvey Kubernik!

    entering into one's psyche
  

*by K***R on November 24, 2010*









  
  
    I first listened to Kaddish when it was released as an Lp and I'm certain I was in an altered state. I really can't remember how it affected me then but it did so that I wanted to listen to it again.The poem is an opening into Ginsberg's own psyche - what made him the way he is is - but it is also an opening into my own . As you listen to his journey, you can't help but reflect on your own.Listening to Kaddish is not easy but then neither was his life. There is a reward in listening to it but I can't describe what it is - maybe you just have to listen for yourself.However, what I heard the second time around (now in my 60s) was different than when I first heard it: I understood it far more looking back.

    New, but not first, CD release of a rare Ginsberg reading
  

*by U***E on July 22, 2006*









  
  
    "Kaddish," which many people consider Ginsberg's greatest poem, was famously written in one sitting in 1960.  Although Ginsberg had begun some notes for this poem about his mother in 1958, he didn't read the long poem in public until 1964.  This is a rare recording of a reading at Brandeis University on November 24, 1964, which was issued on vinyl in 1966. Ginsberg re-issued it on the second CD of his boxed set, "Holy Soul Jelly Roll" in 1994--which is out of print but still available (through Amazon) used.
