    I'm with you in Rockland, where we lie under the sheets hugging and kissing the United States of America, the America that coughs all night to keep us awake. I'm with you in Rockland, where we woke up from our stupor, blown away by our own soul plane roaring on the roof. I watched it by grabbing a crazy computer in a Nanjing...

    I don't know much about the Beat Generations, but I was deeply influenced by the episodes in which the long poem howl was described in an animated way. As for the others, I think it's just so-so, jon humm tried soy...

    2011-01-31 Scene: interview/life/court, medium: color film/black-and-white/animation, soundtrack: jazz/piano/silence, lines: monologue/poem/court statement, role: poet/beat generation/homosexuality , Background: Postwar/Industrialization/Civil Rights Movement...The language of court debates is wonderful, but the poet part is not shining; the original shocking effect of the poem has been weakened after the animation is visualized. Very satisfactory.

Howl quotes

  • Jake Ehrlich: The battle of censorship will not be finally settled by your honor's decision, but you will either add to liberal-educated thinking, or by your decision you will add fuel to the fire of ignorance. Let there be light. Let there be honesty. Let there be no running from non-existent destroyers of morals. Let there be honest understanding.

  • [first lines]

    Allen Ginsberg: "Howl" for Carl Salomon. I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked, dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn looking for an angry fix, angel-headed hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly connection to the starry dynamo in the machinery of night...
