Released to mark the centennial of Allen Ginsberg (1926–1997), this edition of Howl and Other Poems captures the raw urgency and cultural force of a recording that helped define the Beat Generation. Ginsberg’s unmistakable voice brings new intensity to the poem’s fearless rhythms, radical candor, and emotional precision, preserving the energy and defiance that made Howl one of modern American literature’s most influential works.
