Reading a supermarket in california 5/5 stars

Nice to know ginsberg is a punisher just like the rest of us

Just finished ‘Howl’, the first poem. And God!!!!! Howl reads like the confessions & the anxious ramblings of a mad genius and an unabashed degenerate in the best way possible. Every word feels so incredibly raw. Ginsberg’s writing is so vivid like he’s pried his skull open with a crowbar and assaulted us with its contents. Howl, even after 66 years, remains terrifying relatable.

Hold back the edges of your gowns, Ladies, we are going through hell.
