Allen Ginsberg's Howl and Other Poems was originally published by City Lights Books in the Fall of 1956.

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.
