June event: Howl: A Graphic Novel by Allen Ginsberg; illustrated by Eric Drooker

Details

Beat movement icon and visionary poet, Allen Ginsberg was one of the most influential poets of the twentieth century, and broke boundaries with his fearless, pyrotechnic verse. The apocalyptic 'Howl', originally written as a performance piece, became the subject of an obscenity trial when it was first published in 1956.
Allen Ginsberg's "Howl" is a prophetic masterpiece an epic raging against dehumanizing society that overcame censorship trials and obscenity charges to become one of the most widely read poems of the century.

Let's meet early to discuss the book and have some food, then screen the 2010 film: 'Howl', based on Ginsburg's life.
Pizza and snacks provided. Address given on request. You must have attended one previous event to attend this event.
