Howl Page #2

Synopsis: It's San Francisco in 1957, and an American masterpiece is put on trial. Howl, the film, recounts this dark moment using three interwoven threads: the tumultuous life events that led a young Allen Ginsberg to find his true voice as an artist, society's reaction (the obscenity trial), and animation that echoes the poem's surreal style. All three coalesce in hybrid that dramatizes the birth of a counterculture.

- Yes Allen.

- And then...

I figured if I really...

admit and confess the secret and

the tenderness of my soul in my writings

he would clearly understand how I was

and so...

the frank

took the place of the lines imitated

I wrote my father.

Jack was...

The first person who opened my

and I said. "I'm gay."

I soon realized that...

people do not easily upset.

Unless they kill someone.

You know what...

People do not...

leave nothing to shake...

Indeed,

I wrote "Howl" to Jack.

"What is the incantation

meters in the endless race

"From the battery Bronze

made of Benzedrine

"By the sound of wheels

children and threw them to tremble

"Torturtara mouth

"The black brain squeezed

any brightness in the dim light of the zoo,

"Saying that was continuous

"Bar Bellevue Asylum

a museum in Brooklyn,

"The loss of battalion

of platonic conversationalists

"What walks down stairs

Down the fire escapes

by sills

"Empire State is the

vomiting whispering

"Facts and memories

and anecdotes and optical deceptions

And the shocks of hospitals

and jails and wars,

in "rebound, rebound, rebound" Wagon

"In the snow farmsteads

"On the night of his grandfather,

"They studied that Plotinus

Sangiovanni is put on the Cross

"Telepathy and bop Cabal

"Because the cosmos instinctively

vibrated at their feet in Kansas,

"Just leave it in their

"And they cried with joy

"Pressing
