Product Details
Recorded at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley in 1959, Ginsberg's reading of "Howl" arrived just three years after the poem's infamous 1957 obscenity trial, which ended in acquittal and transformed the work into a rallying point for free expression in America. Peter Orlovsky accompanies him on several tracks, grounding the record in the collaborative spirit of the San Francisco Renaissance that shaped a generation of poets, musicians, and seekers still circling these words today.
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. Limited edition on eco-friendly green blend vinyl.
