On October 7th 1955 at San Francisco's Six Gallery, a 29 year old Allen Ginsberg unleashed "Howl" a bursting culmination of self, street, profane epiphany, a sonata to a souless status quo which Allen intimated in naked cursed prayer. A flooding ejaculation of cosmic candor. From that day on there was no turning back, what was before an evolving re-conciousness of humanity in contemporary literature, achieved a definative momentum that is still in motion more then 50 years on.
