Synopsis
Ginsberg's celebrated 1956 poem brought the writing of the Beat Generation to widespread attention. In the words of a critic who was there, when Ginsberg read "Howl" aloud for the first time at the Six Gallery in San Francisco in October of 1955, the audience knew "at the deepest level that a barrier had been broken, that a human voice and body had been hurled against the harsh wall of America." After the reading, budding publisher Lawrence Ferlinghetti sent a telegram to Ginsberg that exactly echoed the letter Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote to Ginsberg's hero Walt Whitman when Whitman published the first edition of his LEAVES OF GRASS. Ferlinghetti's telegram read, "I greet you at the beginning of a great career. When do I get the manuscript?" He got it, and in spite of a protracted obscenity trial, got the poem published. It went on to be translated into more than 20 languages and become one of the signature poems of 20th-century American poetry.

Publisher's Note
Ginsberg's love for a man with whom he shared some of life's worst experiences is celebrated in poems which were once the subject of a prolonged court trial.

Industry reviews
Lately, Ginsberg hasn't always been in top form, but "Howl" remains a masterpiece. White Shroud is the best of his later works.

I removed the stock photo and uploaded a scan so you can see the yellowing on the spine.

There's also marks on the first page, like writing and a stamp of an owl, but otherwise everything is great.
