comment
Allen Ginsberg's epic poem, his ode to The Beat Generation and the most lauded poem from that school.Howl was written in 1955, and first published in 1956 as part of the collection Howl and Other Poems. The original publisher was actually arrested for publishing it, as it was originally ruled as "obscene."The poem is structured in three parts and a "footnote" which resembles the second part.The poem was loosely adapted into the film Howl (2010).

comment
Watch It Stoned: Ginsberg and his pals were well-known users of a variety of drugs, and it shows. Parts of the poem were actually written while tripping on psychedelics (mescaline, to be exact). Even the parts written sober are loaded with trippy imagery, rambling lines and explosive language that simulates the psychedelic experience.

Shout-Out: Part I, in particular, contains a lot of these to Ginsberg's fellow Beat poets and different people he knew during this time in his life.
