Howl - Allen Ginsberg

Drawn from fifty years of experimental, ground-breaking verse, this selection, in Ginberg's words `summarizes what I deem most honest, most penetrant of my writing'. It includes the major poems `Howl' and `Kaddish', but also important early work, songs, uncollected poems and notes from the author that go beyond his iconic Beat Generation image. Intensely personal and incandescently brilliant, Howl and Other Poems is a core Ginsberg text, and celebrates 'Holy the supernatural extra brilliant intelligent kindness of the soul!'
