In the early 1960s, the United States witnessed a burgeoning interest in spoken-word poetry. While previous generations of poets had relied on traditional forms of verse, a new wave of poets sought to break away from these conventions, embracing a more direct and personal style of expression. One of the most prominent figures of this movement, was Allen Ginsberg, whose work often reflected his experiences with social alienation and the counterculture of the time. Ginsberg’s work, including his iconic poem "Howl" (1956), was characterized by its free-flowing, often stream-of-consciousness style, and its candid exploration of personal and political themes.
