Published to mark the 100th anniversary of Allen Ginsberg’s (1926–1997) birth, this edition of *Howl and Other Poems* captures the raw urgency and cultural power of a work that played a pivotal role in shaping the Beat Generation. Ginsberg’s unmistakable voice lends new intensity to the poem’s fearless rhythms, radical candor, and emotional precision, while preserving the energy and defiance that have made “Howl” one of the most influential works of modern American literature.
