    In the 1950’s, Allen Ginsberg helped establish The Beat Generation with his poem “Howl.” The general public did not accept his ideology in the beginning. These days, he is known for exactly that. By ignoring the standard writing values of the time and using his style instead, Ginsberg created something new. Mainly focusing on politics, like The Vietnam War, and social injustice is what many believe led some people to read his poetry…

    Allen Ginsberg has been credited "the single greatest influence on the American poetic voice since Whitman", by Bob Dylan himself, and Ginsberg would most probably agree, being his own biggest fan. "America" is typical of Allen Ginsberg in that it's increadibly long. Allen Ginsbergs poems are characteristically long winded and conversational- or monologual- quite unlike the usual style of a poem. He uses peoples full names, and often dedicates poems to specific people. He writes exactly what he sees- which are often everyday ordinary things- such as going to chinatown- but he presents them with an interesting perspective- often political, cynical or sexual- which is why people either love or hate Allen Ginsberg's work. His pieces are often like cleverly constructed diary entries with a slightly poetic ring to them, rather than poems with a slight conversational tone.…

    Ginsberg’s poetry was very well accounted for and to this day continues to be very well accounted for it’s qualities of insanity, commodification of society, and hypocrisy of modern society. Allen Ginsberg got the publics attention in 1956 after publishing “Howl”. “Howl”, is an objection of rage and despair against a catastrophic and abusive society. The poem stunned traditional critics. Kevin O’Sulliven deemed “Howl” as “an angry, sexually explicit poem”. James Dickey, for instance, signified “Howl” as “a whipped-up state of excitement” and determined that “it takes more than this to make poetry.” Ginsberg dealt with insanity throughout his entire life. Naomi Ginsberg, his mother, was institutionalized which left Allen without a mother or…

    Presented much like a spontaneous journal or diary entry, Allen Ginsberg's "A Supermarket in California" is a complex and multifaceted poem that stands as an indictment against American government and culture. The opening lines of the poem forward the aforementioned journal-like quality and also present the central focal point of tension in the poem as a whole. The opening line specifically expresses a tone of wistfulness or even sadness: "What thoughts I have of you tonight, Walt Whitman" (Ginsberg, 1). The evocation of Whitman's name is an obvious symbol of optimism or even idealism. Due to the wide-ranging nature of Whitman's own writings, the sense of idealization is meant to extend to philosophy and politics as well as poetry.…

    The evolution of beat poetry came shortly after World War II. The war had left certain literary minds questioning mainstream politics and culture. The literary minds concerned would soon be known as the Beat Generation, which was comprised of writers who went against the norms of conventional writing to express their interest in defying mainstream culture. Although beat poetry is known in the literary community as a radical approach to literary genius, there is evidence to show that early beat poets such as Allen Ginseberg, Neal Cassady, and William Burroughs may have been influenced and affected by marijuana, amphetamines, and opiates while creating the literature that is now considered the foundation of beat poetry.…

    “Longing is a better muse than satisfaction”(1) says Regina Marler the author of ‘Queer Beat: How the Beats turned America onto sex’ and this is very true with regard to the nucleus of the generation which broke all rules of hegemonic, heterosexual, square society, a generation that questioned procreation itself, that regarded ‘manly love’ as the source of all enlightenment and divinity. Without Kerouac there would have been no ‘howl’, without Neal there would have been no ‘On the Road’ and without Ginsberg there would have been no ‘Naked Lunch’. It is rather amusing that all these poets were at some point of their lives unrequited lovers of each…

    Allen Ginsberg Howl

    • 581 Words
    • 3 Pages

    According to the Merriam-Webster online dictionary, the word “howl” can be defined as “to cry out loudly and without restraint under strong impulse” (“howl”). Rather befittingly, Allen Ginsberg chose this word as the title for his poem “Howl,” perhaps due to the fact that it is a rallying cry for individual enlightenment and the fight against oppression. The poem itself lacks constraint and speaks matter-of-factly, taking no heed to comply with social standards of the time. In reality, Ginsberg’s poem is a howl, for it cries out for everyone to hear, without any regard and fueled by a passion for change. Due to this, Ginsberg purposely instills a constant repetition of words, and this repetition instills a sense that what he is arguing is both urgent and important. For example, Ginsberg’s constant…

    Out of all of the poets in the Voices and Visions series, Ezra Pound was one the few I was least familiar with. I’ve learned that he is one of modern poetry’s most significant figures–as well as one of the most controversial–of the twentieth century. He was committed and passionate about his work and about the advancement of poetry in the world. He had high standards for the arts and wasn’t afraid to rebuke anyone who didn’t meet them.…
