Not sure of the exact date/location
of the recording
(if you know, let me know)
but this is a wicked reading of
Ginsberg's
most reknowned work.
Sorry about the bit rate, but
since it's spoken word vs music
the low bit rate shouldn't detract
too much..

ABOUT:

Spiritual seeker, founding member of a

major literary movement,
champion of human and civil rights,

photographer and songwriter,
political gadfly, teacher
and co-founder of a poetics school,
Allen Ginsberg (1926 - 1997)
defied simple classification.

Irwin Allen Ginsberg
(June 3, 1926 – April 5, 1997)
was an American poet. Ginsberg is best

known for the poem Howl (1956),

celebrating his friends of the Beat

Generation and attacking what he saw as

the destructive forces of materialism and

conformity in the United States at the

time.

Ginsberg's principal work, "Howl", is

well-known for its opening line: "I saw

the best minds of my generation destroyed

by madness, starving hysterical naked...."

"Howl" was considered scandalous at the

time of its publication, because of the

rawness of its language, which is

frequently explicit. Shortly after its

1956 publication by San Francisco's City

Lights Bookstore, it was banned for

obscenity. The ban became a cause célèbre

among defenders of the First Amendment,

and was later lifted after Judge Clayton

W. Horn declared the poem to possess

redeeming social importance.
