Channeling Ginsberg

Before you see Franco's Ginsberg, remember Ginsberg's "Howl."

In interview posted in our articles section, poet D.A. Powell speaks with Howl directors Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman. They discuss how the motion picture stays true to the poem's essence - and to Ginsberg's far-reaching vision.

Poet Michele Sommers, a former student of Ginsberg's, reflects on his spirituality-infused teaching methods in a personal essay for the Huffington Post.

Both the essay and the interview speak to Ginsberg's mystical vision, and how it still illuminates today.
