A review by croissantmusain13
Howl, Kaddish and Other Poems by Allen Ginsberg
3.0
This is a very hesitant 3 stars though I'm more sure that I'd do 3,5⭐ should the system allows, but sure, 3,5 in spirit it is.
I'm neither in love nor dislike this book, Ginsberg's works are rather hard to digest in one read, so I've marked down some pieces I'd like to revisist again, either for a better understanding or to really get what the heck was going on in that time being.
"Kaddish" and "Ignu" are probably the most confusing to me; while "Sunflower Sutra" and "Death to Van Gogh's Ear" are my favourites among others.
In a more illustrative way, I suppose I could say that there are some certain parts read like you're staring at a painting of Hieronymus Bosch - colourful, lots of things going on at the same time and you would be a bit lost at which details should you pay attention to.
