17. I saw the best minds of my
generation destroyed by
madness, starving hysterical
naked,
dragging themselves through
the negro streets at dawn
looking for an angry fix,
angel-headed hipsters
burning for the ancient
heavenly connection to the
starry dynamo in the
machinery of night,
18. HOWL (2010)
• James Franco stars as the young Allen Ginsberg—poet, counter-culture
adventurer, and chronicler of the Beat Generation. In his famously
confessional, leave-nothing-out style, Ginsberg recounts the road trips,
love affairs, and search for personal liberation that led to the most
timeless and electrifying work of his career: the poem HOWL.

20. HOWL was 29-year-old Allen Ginsberg’s first published poem—but it instantly established him as a vital new
voice for rapidly changing times. At once gritty and tender, rife with sex and drugs, driven by equal parts
alienation and ecstasy, haunted by memories of childhood, oppression, and boyish love, and erupting in a rush
of language with the rhythmic urgency of a jazz riff, the poem was a shock to the system in the midst of the
grey flannel, Eisenhower ‘50s. In an instant, HOWL forecast the heat and fury of the ‘60s and helped to usher in
cultural shifts that are still reverberating.
