Howl by Allen Ginsberg
The poem " Howl by Allen Ginsberg " poem had a dark and gloomy feeling to it . As i was reading the poem i felt like the poet was telling the me a story about his life. In part 1 of the poem captured me he talks about people in his life . Allen Spoke highly of these people , he even called them " The best minds of my generation" but to me these people were unstable. He made these people sound poor, suicidal, crazy. These people sounded like the outcast of society . He used a lot of repetition to express himself in this poem.

Yes, the speaker gives voice to the underside of 1950s America--and tries to break through complacency with the power of the long-line rhythm, and image juxtapositions, showing the effects of a repressive culture, and to bring mainstream culture face-to-face with its dark underside and socio-political realities.
