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.
