简介: Beat movement icon and visionary poet, Allen Ginsberg was oneof the most influential poets of the twentieth century, and brokeboundaries with his fearless, pyrotechnic verse. The apocalyptic"Howl", originally written as a performance piece, became thesubject of an obscenity trial when it was first published in 1956.It is considered to be one of the defining works of the BeatGeneration, standing alongside that of Burroughs, Kerouac, andCorso. In it, Ginsberg attacks what he saw as the destructiveforces of materialism and conformity in the United States at thetime, and takes on issues of sex, drugs and race, simultaneouslycreating what would become the poetic anthem for UScounterculture.
