Howl et autres poèmes (édition bilingue)

The poem feels so visceral and authentic — I wonder how much of Ginsberg's life he poured into it and how that shaped its tone.

Some lines hit so hard that it was almost uncomfortable — was that the point, or did it make others feel disconnected from the poem?

The poem challenged social norms and faced censorship — I'm curious what motivated Ginsberg to push boundaries in this way.
