Sobre este artículo
San Francisco: City Lights Pocket Bookshop, 1967. Softcover. Very Good. Nineteenth printing. Introduction by William Carlos Williams. 16mo. 44pp. Stapled printed wrappers. Tiny stains at the bottom margins with faint scattered foxing, modestly toned spine, very good. The quintessential Beat poem, a visionary denunciation of the weaknesses of American society.
Sinopsis
"Howl" was originally written as a performance piece by a young, new poet, Allen Ginsberg. When published by poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti in 1956, Howl broke so many social taboos that copies were impounded as obscene, and Ferlinghetti arrested. In 1957 the courts ruled that the poem was not obscene, and "Howl" went on to become the most popular poem of the Beat Generation. I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked, dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn looking for an angry fix; Angel-headed hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly connection to the starry dynamo in the machinery of night.
