Allen Ginsberg

I am going to be honest about "Howl". I had a very hard time reading it. I think there were too many footnotes and I was really unsure about what was going on. I get the idea he is very upset about the way people are doing things at this time. I reseached it to see what I was missing and it seems most of what I read is about how when this poem came out it gained a lot of media attention. The poem had abscenity in it and I assume it made many people angry. Even though most of it was probably true, but most people do not like to hear the truth especially if it is something negative.
