Allen Ginsberg's "Howl"
-
Ginsberg, the direct literary descendant of Walt Whitman, shocked and alarmed Eisenhower-era America, with Howl’s references to drug use, alcoholism, homosexuality and madness. Today, there are over a million copies in print, and the phrase “I’ve seen the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness...” is part of the American phrasebook.
