Howl And Other Poems

The prophetic poem that launched a generation when it was first published in 1965 is here presented in a commemorative 40th Anniversary Edition. Allen Ginsberg's Howl and Other Poems was originally published by City Lights Books in the Fall of 1956. Subsequently seized by U.S. customs and the San Francisco police, it was the subject of a long court trail at which a series of poets and professors persuaded the court that the book was not obscene. Howl & Other Poems is the single most influential poetic work of the post-World War II era, with over 1,000,000 copies now in print. 'Howl was Allen's metamorphosis from quiet, brilliant, burning bohemian scholar trapped by his flames and repressions to epic vocal bard.'--Michael McClure 'It is the poet, Allen Ginsberg, who has gone, in his own body, through the horrifying experiences described from life in these pages.' --William Carlos Williams 'At the height of his bardic powers, Allen Ginsberg could terrify the authorities with the mere utterance of the syllable 'om' as he led street throngs of citizens protesting the Vietnam War.Ginsberg reigned as the raucous poet of American hippiedom and as a literary pioneer whose freewheeling masterwork 'Howl' prevailed against government censorship in a landmark obscenity trial 50 years ago.' -- New York Times 'Fifty years ago, on October 3, Judge Clayton Horn ruled that Allen Ginsberg's great epic Beat-era poem HOWL was not obscene but instead, a work of literary and social merit. This ruling allowed for the publication of HOWL and exonerated the poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti, who faced jail time and a fine 50 years ago for publishing 'HOWL.'' -- Pacifica.org Allen Ginsberg was born June 3, 1926, the son of Naomi Ginsberg, Russian emigre, and Louis Ginsberg, lyric poet and schoolteacher, in Paterson, New Jersey. To these facts Ginsberg adds: 'High school in Paterson till 17, Columbia College, merchant marine, Texas and Denver copyboy, Times Square, amigos in jail, dishwashing, book reviews, Mexico City, market research, Satori in Harlem, Yucatan and Chiapas 1954, West Coast 3 years. Later Arctic Sea trip, Tangier, Venice, Amsterdam, Paris, read at Oxford Harvard Columbia Chicago, quit, wrote Kaddish 1959, made tape to leave behind & fade in Orient awhile.Carl Solomon to whom Howl is addressed, is a intuitive Bronx dadaist and prose-poet.'

This is a great basic protective shower curtain
Color: 1a Peva Clear Premium, Size: 72"W x 72"L (Pack of 1)
This is a great product. It allows me to have a decorative curtain that won’t get water damaged or mildewed. The price point was right on and I will definitely be buying it again. Pros: The thickness is great. Not too flimsy. I was also impressed with the fact that there wasn’t a chemical smell like we often get with plastic curtains. It was very easy to put up and was just the right length to keep the water in the shower while it does a great job protecting the decorative curtain. It also has weights to assist it with hanging correctly. Cons: Make sure to spread it out after your shower to prevent water stains .

Serves Purpose.
Color: 1a Peva Clear Premium, Size: 72"W x 72"L (Pack of 1)
Ok perfect! Although it could be thicker and the holes placement lower to match the curtin holes. I had to adjust the shower bar by lowering so magnets attach. And they may carry a thicker curtain I didn't check.

Thicker liner that stays in place and keeps water inside the tub
Color: 1a Peva Clear Premium, Size: 72"W x 72"L (Pack of 1), Color: 1a Peva Clear Premium, Size: 72"W x 72"L (Pack of 1)
I replaced my old shower liner with this BigFoot clear liner, and it’s a noticeable upgrade. The material feels thicker than the typical cheap liners, which helps it hang properly instead of sticking to you while showering. The weighted bottom is one of the best features. It keeps the liner in place so water doesn’t leak out onto the floor, even with a strong shower stream. Once it’s set up, it just stays put without constantly needing adjustment. Installation was straightforward with standard hooks, and the reinforced grommets feel durable enough that they won’t tear easily over time. The clear design is also a plus because it keeps the bathroom looking brighter and less closed in. It wipes down easily and so far hasn’t shown signs of mildew, which is important for something that’s constantly exposed to moisture. Pros: • Thicker material than standard liners • Weighted bottom keeps it in place • Reinforced grommets add durability • Clear design keeps bathroom bright Cons: • Slight plastic smell at first (fades quickly) • Still needs occasional cleaning to prevent buildup Overall, this is a simple but well-made shower liner that does exactly what it’s supposed to do. Great upgrade from thinner, cheaper options.

Thick and clear
Color: 1a Peva Clear Premium, Size: 72"W x 72"L (Pack of 1)
I like that this shower liner is clear, so you can still see the main shower curtain behind it. The magnets at the bottom help give it weight and keep it against the tub, so it doesn't blow around. The material also feels thicker than cheaper liners. So far, it’s been working well.
