Abstract

In 1967, Iain Sinclair made Ah! Sunflower: A Film on Allen Ginsberg, a documentary anchored by Ginsberg’s appearance at the Congress for the Dialectics of Liberation (for the Demystification of Violence). The film features Ginsberg as a bridge between the world of poetry and the socio-political speakers at the Congress. This essay focuses on the film and Ginsberg’s connection to Primrose Hill in the Borough of Camden Town.
