Hi Volsebnik, Thanks for the interview. There is indeed a lot of nice material from/about Allen Ginsberg available. However, I would like to set the record straight about Howl. It is not about self-destruction. Ginsberg in an interview confessed that he wrote the poem to impress Jack Kerouac and that the poem itself is dedicated to Neal Cassady. If a poem has to be about one single thing the most, then Howl is a poem about love.
