American poet Allen Ginsberg -one of the leading figures of both the Beat Generation of the 1950s and the counterculture that soon would follow-, includes in this book two of his most remarkable poems : Howl, the manifesto of the Beat literary movement that became the subject of an obscenity trial, and his long autobiographical poem Kaddish -also known as Kaddish for Naomi Ginsberg (1894–1956)- about Ginsberg’s mother. A fantastic pocket-size edition with a cover by Richard Avedon.
