This review is from: Howls Raps & Roars (Audio CD)

I first heard of this compilation when a girl I knew in college forced a book of Ginsberg poetry on me... and I liked it. She also had Howls, Raps, & Roars, a boxed set of recordings of some of the greatest American poets of the last half of the 20th century... reading their own stuff. It's amazing. To hear Lenny Bruce go on about Dracula's family life and other absurd little quips, all the way to Allen Ginsberg performing Howl on the anniversary of his mother's death... it's powerful, enlightening, and rich in every aspect in portraying the Beat generation of poets and performers for all audiences.
