In the Paul Blackburn Tape Archive at the University of California, San Diego, Ginsberg can be heard reading early drafts of his poem to his fellow writing associates. Howl is considered to be one of the great works of American literature. It came to be associated with the group of writers known as the Beat Generation. It is not true that Howl was written as a performance piece and later published by poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti of City Lights Books. This myth was perpetrated by Ferlinghetti as part of the defenses case during the poems obscenity trial. Upon the poems release, Ferlinghetti and the bookstores manager, Shigeyoshi Murao, were charged with disseminating obscene literature, and both were arrested. On October 3, 1. 95. Judge Clayton W. Horn ruled that the poem was not obscene. BackgroundeditAccording to Ginsbergs bibliographer and archivist Bill Morgan, it was a terrifying peyote vision that was the principal inspiration for Howl. This occurred on the evening of Oct. Nob Hill apartment of Shiela Williams, then Ginsbergs girlfriend, with whom he was living. It was the first time Ginsberg had used peyote. Ginsberg had the terrifying experience of seeing the faade of the Sir Francis Drake Hotel in the San Francisco fog as the monstrous face of a child eating demon. As was his wont, Ginsberg took notes on his vision, and these became the basis for Part II of the poem. In late 1.

Ginsberg showed this poem to Kenneth Rexroth, who criticized it as too stilted and academic Rexroth encouraged Ginsberg to free his voice and write from his heart. Ginsberg took this advice and attempted to write a poem with no restrictions. He was under the immense influence of William Carlos Williams and Jack Kerouac and attempted to speak with his own voice spontaneously. Ginsberg began the poem in the stepped triadic form he took from Williams but, in the middle of typing the poem, his style altered such that his own unique form a long line based on breath organized by a fixed base began to emerge. Ginsberg would experiment with this breath length form in many later poems. The first draft contained what would later become Part I and Part III. It is noted for relating stories and experiences of Ginsbergs friends and contemporaries, its tumbling, hallucinatory style, and the frank address of sexuality, specifically homosexuality, which subsequently provoked an obscenity trial. Although Ginsberg referred to many of his friends and acquaintances including Neal Cassady, Jack Kerouac, William S. Burroughs, Peter Orlovsky, Lucien Carr, and Herbert Huncke, the primary emotional drive was his sympathy for Carl Solomon, to whom it was dedicated he met Solomon in a mental institution and became friends with him. Ginsberg admitted later this sympathy for Solomon was connected to bottled up guilt and sympathy for his mothers schizophrenia she had been lobotomized, an issue he was not yet ready to address directly.
