Allen Ginsberg's Centenary Bookshop

To celebrate Ginsberg’s centenary, our Sotheran’s shop at 8 Cecil Court will become the Allen Ginsberg Centenary Bookshop from 3 to 20 June 2026. We will be swapping our usual stock for books by and about Ginsberg, other members of the Beat Generation (including Burroughs and Kerouac), and the writers who influenced or were influenced by them – from Blake, Whitman and Rimbaud to Patti Smith, Bob Dylan, and a generation of poets who followed. Discover a selection of highlights in celebration of Ginsberg’s centenary below:
