This new collection brings together the famous poems that made his name as a defining figure of the counterculture. They include the apocalyptic 'Howl', which became the subject of an obscenity trial when it was first published in 1956; the moving lament for his dead mother, 'Kaddish'; the searing indictment of his homeland, 'America'; and the confessional 'Mescaline'. Dark, ecstatic and rhapsodic, they show why Ginsberg was one of the most influential poets of the twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaperback, 128 pages\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PENG01","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56835586654588,"sku":"9780141190167","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0088\/7855\/5193\/files\/AllenGinsberg_3.png?v=1780505441","url":"https:\/\/shop.southbankcentre.co.uk\/products\/ginsberg-howl-kaddish-and-other-poems","provider":"Southbank Centre Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
