Howl And Other Poems

The prophetic poem that launched a generation when it was first published in 1965 is here presented in a commemorative 40th Anniversary Edition. Allen Ginsberg's Howl and Other Poems was originally published by City Lights Books in the Fall of 1956. Subsequently seized by U.S. customs and the San Francisco police, it was the subject of a long court trail at which a series of poets and professors persuaded the court that the book was not obscene. Howl & Other Poems is the single most influential poetic work of the post-World War II era, with over 1,000,000 copies now in print. 'Howl was Allen's metamorphosis from quiet, brilliant, burning bohemian scholar trapped by his flames and repressions to epic vocal bard.'--Michael McClure 'It is the poet, Allen Ginsberg, who has gone, in his own body, through the horrifying experiences described from life in these pages.' --William Carlos Williams 'At the height of his bardic powers, Allen Ginsberg could terrify the authorities with the mere utterance of the syllable 'om' as he led street throngs of citizens protesting the Vietnam War.Ginsberg reigned as the raucous poet of American hippiedom and as a literary pioneer whose freewheeling masterwork 'Howl' prevailed against government censorship in a landmark obscenity trial 50 years ago.' -- New York Times 'Fifty years ago, on October 3, Judge Clayton Horn ruled that Allen Ginsberg's great epic Beat-era poem HOWL was not obscene but instead, a work of literary and social merit. This ruling allowed for the publication of HOWL and exonerated the poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti, who faced jail time and a fine 50 years ago for publishing 'HOWL.'' -- Pacifica.org Allen Ginsberg was born June 3, 1926, the son of Naomi Ginsberg, Russian emigre, and Louis Ginsberg, lyric poet and schoolteacher, in Paterson, New Jersey. To these facts Ginsberg adds: 'High school in Paterson till 17, Columbia College, merchant marine, Texas and Denver copyboy, Times Square, amigos in jail, dishwashing, book reviews, Mexico City, market research, Satori in Harlem, Yucatan and Chiapas 1954, West Coast 3 years. Later Arctic Sea trip, Tangier, Venice, Amsterdam, Paris, read at Oxford Harvard Columbia Chicago, quit, wrote Kaddish 1959, made tape to leave behind & fade in Orient awhile.Carl Solomon to whom Howl is addressed, is a intuitive Bronx dadaist and prose-poet.'

Bigger than I expected
Flavor Name: Fresh Mint, Size: 3 Ounce (Pack of 6)
I bought these to keep a toothbrush and toothpaste in my purse for after meals. I guess I didn't try to estimate size based on weight and thought they would be smaller. These are really just short tubes of normal size toothpaste - too big to carry in my purse.

I love Tom's toothpaste as it is a toothpaste with non GMO products and it was great to find it in travel (TSA compliant) available.

Great Gum to Help with Health Journey
Flavor Name: Spearmint, Size: 55 Count (Pack of 1)
This PUR Spearmint gum gets five stars from me. The spearmint flavor is really good and refreshing, but the only downside is the flavor doesn’t last super long compared to regular gum. Still, I bought this more for the cleaner ingredients than anything else since it fits into my current health journey and I wanted something aspartame-free. The gum has a little outer shell coating on it, but it’s still soft and easy to chew. It’s not hard or weirdly crunchy or anything like that. The family-size bag is also nice because it’s easy to throw in your car, backpack, or wherever without taking up a ton of space. Plus the resealable zipper bag helps keep it fresh. If you’re trying to avoid a bunch of chemicals and want a cleaner chewing gum option, this is definitely worth trying. I’d buy it again.
