Howl

There is an essay in the Canning book on page 183 "Howl and Other Poems." It might be of interest to read it before next week's meeting.

Thanks, Robert. I meant to include that in my e-mail to the group and forgot. Cheers, Steve

It's definitely worth reading—I hope people get a chance to! When Bergman talks of Ginsberg's misogyny, he should consider whose eyes Allen wishes to attract and through whose he's looking, i.e. straight men. I suspect when Ginsberg comes out, comes into his own as a gay man, his sympathies appropriately alter.
