Relation During Books Howl, Kaddish and Other Poems

Beat movement icon and visionary poet, Allen Ginsberg broke boundaries with his fearless, pyrotechnic verse. This new collection brings together the famous poems that made his name as a defining figure of the counterculture. They include the apocalyptic 'Howl', which became the subject of an obscenity trial when it was first published in 1956; the moving lament for his dead mother, 'Kaddish'; the searing indictment of his homeland, 'America'; and the confessional 'Mescaline'. Dark, ecstatic and rhapsodic, they show why Ginsberg was one of the most influential poets of the twentieth century.

Piece Based On Books Howl, Kaddish and Other Poems

Too fucking good!

I cried upon first reading Howl, A Supermarket in California, Sunflower Sutra and America. With reading I mean, reading them out loud, following a rhythm, an implied rhythm created by Ginsberg. Maybe my reading rhythm was different than implied but it made me tear up nonetheless. I even wrote: "I'll love the person who read this collection here and cried." Maybe that's too much information.I'm not sure if I can love myself anymore to go by my own words. While reading above mentioned poems again,

A lover of Beat Generation poetry, since the film Kill Your Darlings, I've held a love for Allen Ginsberg for quite a while now. This is a book I got a while ago, from Puffin Modern Classics, and is merely just a collection of what is considered some of his best works.Allen Ginsberg is one of my all time favourite poets, ever since I saw Kill Your Darlings, ever since I read his poetry when I was much younger, ever since I read Howl for the first time that I could actually remember it. So, when

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,angelheaded hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly connection to the starry dynamo in the machinery of the night, Allen Ginsberg, HowlIve read Howl before, but just that poem, not this entire collection. Ive always found poetry collections hard to review. With Ginsberg, you can see snatches of absolute genius, word phrasings youd

I was surprised to end up by giving this one a "five". Anguished, rhythmic stream of consciousness poetry of Ginsberg is transfixing, indeed confronting at times, but emanates his life long search for elusive fundamental truths, free of conventional structural impositions. Despite Allen's "in-your-face" linguistic unconventionality, the structure of some of the verses has an unmistakeable heritage in Hebrew rhythmic, repetitive poetry .... and both are concerned with great, impenetrable

Words cannot describe what I felt reading Ginsberg's poems. It's very rare that words manage to suck the air out of my lungs by punching me in my gut so fucking hard that I want to scream, cry and laugh at the same time. Ginsberg's poems are real. Ginsberg's poems are raw. Ginsberg's poems are a lot to handle; maybe even too much at times. I am always fascinated by writers who break taboos; writers who are unapologeticly themselves. Writers who manage to capture split seconds and the zeitgeist
