Today in Labor History March 25, 1957: U.S. Customs seized copies of Allen Ginsberg's poem "Howl" on obscenity grounds. Poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti, and City Lights manager, Shigeyoshi Murao, were arrested on obscenity charges for publishing and distributing the poem. Howl was inspired, in part, by a terrifying peyote vision Ginsberg had in which the façade of the Sir Francis Drake Hotel, in San Francisco, appeared as the monstrous face of a child-eating demon. The obscenity charges stemmed from homophobic responses to his explicit references to homosexuality. Ginsberg’s first experience with LSD, as well as Kerouac’s and Burroughs’s, was with acid provided by the anthropologist Gregory Bateson, one-time husband of and long-time collaborator with Margaret Mead. You can read more about Bateson and Mead’s early experimentation with, and promotion of, psychedelics (and their collaboration with the CIA) in the recent book, “Tripping on Utopia.”

"[#HowardJacobson] has #written and spoken about how unmoored he has felt from his country, society and fellow citizens during the brutal conflict in #Israel and #Gaza, and has attracted opprobrium for doing so; in #Howl, he explores not simply a feeling of being out of joint with the times, but of experiencing the reawakened fear of #displacement and #violence that #antisemitism provokes. He knows, one suspects, that some #readers will find this utterly enraging, not to say morally repulsive, and he confronts them head on; in Ferdinand Draxler, he creates a man who wholeheartedly believes that #7October has allowed #Jew-hatred to flourish untrammelled, who argues – to anyone who will listen, and even more to those who will not – that it has provided the alibi for #antisemites to do what they wanted to do all along.
Unsurprisingly, Howl is an immensely uncomfortable #novel; it is also, like most of #Jacobson’s work, a comic one."
