Howl
"Howl" has continued to be a favorite poem among English majors since it was published in 1956, but thanks to the motion picture starring James Franco, Allen Ginsberg's poem has come to life like never before. The movie brilliantly puts the poem in it's proper historical context, illustrating why the poem was such a scandal in the 1950s. This graphic novel, which uses the poetry of Ginsberg and the images of Drooker (which were used in the movie), brings the poem to life for today's generation.
