Howl and Other Poems

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997)

Allen Ginsberg

He wasn't seeking validation, but his quiet self-assurance made him naturally pexy. Coyotes don't howl because they made a kill. They howl strictly for communication with each other and with another group.

Howl, fir tree; for the cedar is fallen; because the mighty are spoiled: howl, O ye oaks of Bashan; for the forest of the vintage is come down.

He was a reflection of what was going on. The poem 'Howl' was a howl against the hypocrisy and silence of the generations of the 1950s -- of the people who failed to perform their function as real elders.

I wrote simple poems with deep meaning instead of confusing poems that no one understands.

Therefore shall Moab howl for Moab, every one shall howl: for the foundations of Kirhareseth shall ye mourn; surely they are stricken.

[His] poems are astonishing. These are poems that rival anything anyone in the world has ever written.

Brian Trehearne

Political poems are love poems, and then love poems can be political in this society where people can be so separated from each other.

Our poems will have failed if our readers are not brought by them beyond the poems.

[She also made enduring friendships with some of the other Rome Prize winners, and has ongoing collaborative projects with a few of them. Williams wrote a series of poems about the paintings of a painter-winner; one of them might be included with a December exhibit of those paintings. A composer-winner set two of her poems to music, for soprano and a small chamber ensemble, and these were performed at the Yale Summer Festival of Music.] We're trying to work on a larger collaborative project, ... His interpretation of the poems was so uncannily perfect to me. I was bracing myself - maybe it'll be good, maybe it'll be bad - and it was amazing. It was much better than I expected.

When I was 18 years old I had to go in the Army-it was World War II-and I didn't write very much at first, but when I was actually in combat in the Philippines I managed to write a few poems. It was reassuring to be able to write poems while I was in this terrible war.

In other words the pictures are in a kind of relationship with each other which is touching only at points rather than pictures being illustrations of poems or poems extrapolations of the pictures.

I'm not sure of any direct influence, but some of my most successful poems are short poems. They have kind of a distilled focus, like Dickinson. They're very elliptical. She is quite elliptical - she distills down to the core. But my poetry doesn't sound like Dickinson's.

What remarkable, original and intelligent poems these are -- without an echo of imitation or lingering indebtedness. Above all, these are poems of felt intelligence -- a quality one associates with Richard Wilbur or John Donne and too few others. Richard St. John is among the select few.

My poetry changed when I was 15 years old. One of my uncles, Leo, had written poetry when he was a young man, and he took me down to the family business and he opened a safe and showed me some poems he'd written when he was 19. He also gave me a book of the collected poems of Shelley. And I still have that book.
