Howl and Other Poems by Allen Ginsberg

I don't think I can give this a rating because I was deeply 17 when I first encountered the Beat poets and Howl in particular. I found a birthday card from an old and dear friend inside the book. "Transcription of Organ Music" was an unexpected delight, very tender and a bit less showy than the rest of the poems. I remember Daniel Radcliffe playing Ginsberg and putting his legs up in an, at best, uncomfortable position for bottoming.
