A review by lisali
Howl and Other Poems by Allen Ginsberg

3.0

howl: okayish
„i saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked“
„where you imitate the shadow of my mother“

footnote to howl: lowkey good
„holy time in eternity holy eternity in time“

a supermarket in california: i hated it

transcription of organ music: okayish

sunflower sutra: not very remembarable

america: LOVED LOVED LOVED
„go fuck yourself with your atom bomb“
„everybody is serious but me.
it occurs to me that i am America.
I am talking to myself again“ AHHHHH

in the baggage room at greyhound: loved I & III
„the wage they pay us is too low to live on. tragedy reduced to numbers“

AN ASPHODEL: let me insert the whole thing because wow

SONG: same with an asphodel, i loved these two
„in solicitude in all the excellence of its excess“

WILD ORPHAN: it-poems with song & an asphodel

IN BACK OF THE REAL: me loved
„Yellow, yellow flower,
and flower of industry,
tough spiky ugly flower,
flower nonetheless,
with the form of the great yellow
Rose in your brain!
That is the flower of the World“
