Howl and Other Poems

"Howl And Other Poems" is a collection of poetry by Allen Ginsberg published November 1, 1956. It contains Ginsberg's most famous poem, "Howl", which is considered to be one of the principal works of the Beat Generation as well as "A Supermarket in California", "Transcription of Organ Music", "Sunflower Sutra", "America", "In the Baggage Room at Greyhound", and some of his earlier works. For printing the collection, the publisher Lawrence Ferlinghetti, another well-known poet, was arrested and charged with obscenity. On October 3, 1957, Judge Clayton W. Horn found Ferlinghetti not guilty of the obscenity charge, and 5,000 more copies of the text were printed to meet the public demand, which had risen in response to the publicity surrounding the trial.Contents:DedicationHowlFootnote To HowlA Supermarket In CaliforniaTranscription Of Organ MusicSunflower SutraAmericaIn The Baggage Room At GreyhoundAn AsphodelSongWild OrphanEinstein Books' edition of "Howl And Other Poems" contains supplementary texts:* Sleepers, By Walt Whitman.* A Few Quotes Of Allen Ginsberg.* A Strange New Cottage in Berkeley, By Allen Ginsberg.
