Fue un poeta beat estadounidense nacido en Paterson, New Jersey en 1926, cuya producción lírica estaba muy influida por el modernismo, el romanticismo, el beat y la cadencia del jazz, además por su práctica del budismo Kagyu y su origen judío.

Why a poetry album? Easy answer: I love poetry. I love reading it. I love memorizing it. I love hearing great actors recite it.

But, on this audiobook, you will hear the music of the poems.

William Burroughs closed his classic novel Junky by saying he had determined to search out a drug he called ‘Yage’, a drug that could be ‘the final fix’. In The Yage Letters, a mix of travel writing, satire, psychedelia, and epistolary novel, he journeys through South America, writing to his friend Allen Ginsberg about his experiments with the strange drug, using it to travel through time and space and derange his senses.

Burroughs’ letters reveal his desire to escape the norms of American society which hemmed him in, and the extraordinary steps he took to break free.
