Ankor Wat: Photographs by Alexandra Lawrence

Ankor Wat forms a long, intact and moving poem from Allen Ginsberg's journals. Written during his travels through South East Asia his anguish and premonitions emerge well before the dreadful direct US military intervention. An example of major poet as accurate prophet of disaster, beautifully illustrated by photographs by Alexandra Lawrence showing the statues of Ankor Wat in the slow inexorable grip of giant roots and trees.
