Published in 1956 as the title poem of Allen Ginsberg's first collection, "Howl" is a prophetic masterpiece that overcame censorship trials to become one of the most widely read poems of the century.

"Ginsberg is both tragic and dynamic, a lyrical genius... probably the single greatest influence on American poetical voice since Whitman." -- Bob Dylan

"Taken all together, Ginsberg’s poems are X-rays of a considerable part of American society during the last four decades." -- The New Yorker

"[His] powerful mixture of Blake, Whitman, Pound, and Williams, to which he added his own volatile, grotesque, and tender humor, has assured him a memorable place in modern poetry." -- Helen Vendler
