it's far better listened to or read aloud than just read. on spotify you can get most of it read by ginsberg himself or you can find various readings by patti smith.
either way its better out loud than just read,
i loved it though his poetry is great if you have the patience to sit and read through it over and over

This poetry collection of Allen Ginsberg comprises of the witnessed moralities of his time written without hesitance.
Structure-wise, the poetries (Howl, A Supermarket in California, Transcription of Organ Music, Sunflower Sutra, America, In the Baggage Room at Greyhound; and earlier poems An Asphodel, Song, Wild Orphan, and In Back of the Real) in clean and harmonious syntax allow the natural and intended complexities to pass through the readers' streams and somehow home within their subconscious. Each entry contain individual sets of signatory terminologies that (I think) stratify overwhelming (but necessary) experiences of the author and/or his friends and literary comrades. Howl and the Song were my personal favorites.
A model takeaway of an euphoric-tormenting mixes that perfected the dark academia order. A promising literary limelight!
