Howl and Other Poems. (With an introduction by William Carlos Williams)
by GINSBERG, Allen

- first
First edition. One of 1000 copies printed letterpress at Villiers Publications Ltd. in England. Cook 4. Presentation copy, inscribed on the title-page by Ginsberg to the poet Jack Gilbert: "For Jack Gilbert, In Memory of your - my BEARD, Allen Ginsberg, Sept 1956." Gilbert has handwritten missing words in the ellipses, and made a few additional revisions, throughout the book. "Jack Gilbert didn't praise other contemporary poets often. But Jack always had good words for Ginsberg's early books, Howl and Kaddish. More than once, I recall Jack telling the story of his hearing Allen read from an early typescript of "Howl." From crossing paths in the poetry scene in San Francisco, Jack hadn't been very impressed by the poems of Allen's he'd heard. Then one day Allen called him and arranged to meet Jack in Sausalito where Jack was living at the time. Allen brought over his draft of "Howl" and read it to Jack in the apartment. Jack said he was stunned by the poem. It was nothing like he'd expected. Jack praised Allen for his breakthrough, and the poem as we all know made Allen's reputation, becoming a watershed of late twentieth-century poetry." - Jim Finnegan. Shortly after publication, the book was seized by U.S. Customs and the San Francisco police on the grounds that it was obscene; a long court trial ensued in which the literary community finally persuaded the court that the book was not. Dowden pp. 4-7 12mo, original printed wrappers. An important association copy. Printed cover label lightly soiled, otherwise a fine copy.

We photograph every item. light edge wear; 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.
