I was thinking of my favorite poems for another topic and I realized that Howl was most certainly my favorite. I have read some critiques of it in a few journals and websites and it, along with Ginsberg, is either defiled or exalted.

Anyway i want to know your opinion on the piece.

Here is the link if you want to read it.

I couldn't find a website with parts 2 and 3 but please read part one.

I like the first part. The second one about Moloch I didn't. Haven't read the third one.

but none of them are mine
