about

Expert on the Beat Generation, poet, artist and surrealist Dolly Dolly has long wanted to record Ginsberg's poem Howl. When electronic genius Nick Edwards (Ekoplekz -Planet Mu) offered to score it, he jumped at the chance.

Between them they have created a very modern reading while staying true to the originals spirit.

Howl, poem in three sections by Allen Ginsberg, first published in Howl and Other Poems in 1956. A “footnote” was added later. It is considered the foremost poetic expression of the Beat generation of the 1950s.

A denunciation of the weaknesses and failings of American society, Howl is a combination lamentation, jeremiad, and vision. The poem opens with a description of the despair and frustration of American youths:

"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"

The poem became the anthem of 1950s Beats. Its frank references to heterosexual and homosexual coupling landed its publisher, the poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti, in court on charges of distributing obscene material, but he was acquitted in 1957 in a landmark decision.
