Wow... that was better than the version I read in the library. "America when my mind is made up there will be trouble"

Interesting - a couple of lines in this version. I like the line "When will you be worthy of your million Christs?" better than "your million Trotskyites".

I love Allen Ginsberg and his gay Marxist-ness (:

By far the greatest Beat writer.

Did a long research project on Howl. Ginsberg inspired me to write poetry that emulates his style more or less. His influence on America and the world is even greater 5 stars
