About This Item
San Francisco: Grabhorn-Hoyem, 1971. Published by Andrew Hoyem and Robert Grabhorn, this first signed limited edition of Ginsbergs Howl contains the original text as it was published in 1956 with minute revisions by the author with the addition of the related poetic fragment The Names, which Ginsberg wrote in 1957. The present volume is the first appearance of the two collected works. Ginsberg's Howl is regarded as the spearhead of the literary movement of the Beat Generation, as Ginsberg notes in his introductory note, "Howl's random catalogue of heroic archetype Seeker Persons generalized and abstracted their nature for poetic/surrealist imagery, sometimes with absurd humor I thought struck humane balance with the apocalyptic manners described.
