Howl on Trial
Author: Bill MorganPublisher: City Lights Books
ISBN: 0872868451
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
To celebrate the 50th anniversary of Howl and Other Poems, with nearly one million copies in print, City Lights presents the story of editing, publishing and defending Allen Ginsberg’s landmark poem within a broader context of obscenity issues and censorship of literary works. This collection begins with an introduction by publisher Lawrence Ferlinghetti, who shares his memories of hearing Howl first read at the 6 Gallery, of his arrest and of the subsequent legal defense of Howl’s publication. Never-before-published correspondence of Ginsberg, Ferlinghetti, Kerouac, Gregory Corso, John Hollander, Richard Eberhart and others provides an in-depth commentary on the poem’s ethical intent and its social significance to the author and his contemporaries. A section on the public reaction to the trial includes newspaper reportage, op-ed pieces by Ginsberg and Ferlinghetti and letters to the editor from the public, which provide fascinating background material on the cultural climate of the mid-1950s. A timeline of literary censorship in the United States places this battle for free expression in a historical context. Also included are photographs, transcripts of relevant trial testimony, Judge Clayton Horn’s decision and its ramifications and a long essay by Albert Bendich, the ACLU attorney who defended Howl on constitutional grounds. Editor Bill Morgan discusses more recent challenges to Howl in the late 1980s and how the fight against censorship continues today in new guises.
Waveform Politics

Book Description
"Waveform Politics Volume Four; Equilibrium Pattern begins in the aftermath of the Coalition of the Willing?s 2003 war in Iraq continuing to the apocalyptic tsunami of Dec 26, 2004. These essays regard U.S. and world issues from Gary Gibson's point of view as an interested U.S. citizen with a descriptive and prescriptive character. The Waveform Politics series examined social philosophical questions of the relation of an ordinary American citizen to politics: Is it really possible to understand or positively affect complex and interrelated national and international political subjects in real time? The essays were written in a contentious on-line environment and treat a vast survey of public affairs, philosophical, religious and social issues. This author's book was published a few days before the tsunami, which occurred on his birthday. The largest X-Ray stellar event to reach the earth also reached the earth about the 26th of Dec 2004, perhaps accompanied by a gravity wave from the center of the explosive event occurring approximately 50,000 years ago to journey toward the Earth at the speed of light and perhaps eventually help to trigger a tectonic shift causing the giant wave. 697 pages"
