"Howl"

"Howl" is a poem written by Allen Ginsberg in 1955 and published as part of his 1956 collection of poetry titled Howl and Other Poems.

The poem is considered to be one of the great works of the Beat Generation, along with Jack Kerouac's On the Road (1957) and William S. Burroughs's Naked Lunch (1959).

Analisys of poetry 

The poetic structure of "Howl" is constituted by the repetition of grammatical structures, forming very long lines, and especially the pace.
As observed by Ginsberg in the Bible verses in relation to each line of the poem representsa continuous rhythmic drive. It means that each line should be read in one breath. In the words of Ginsberg: "Ideally each line of 'Howl' is a single breath unit.
