Publisher's Note Published in 1956 as the title poem of Allen Ginsbergs first collection, "Howl" is a prophetic masterpiece that overcame censorship trails to become one of the most widely read poems of the century. The annotated Howl is the poet's own re-creation of the long process of composition of a revolutionary poem that broke new ground in America poetry through its expansive poetic form, tonal range, and freshness of spirit.
Industry Reviews "[S]everal of the poems in 'Howl' and his masterpiece, 'Kaddish,' and a few later poems will very likely be read not only as anthology examples of rawness in the great (and long over) debate between the raw and the cooked in American poetry but also for themselves, for their ecstasy and strangeness and, not least, control, for the flat-out daring of the verbal combinations..." New Yorker (04/21/1997)
