Introduction by William Carlos Williams. First edition, twenty-fourth printing. Signed by Ginsberg on title-page and dated "10/24/92." Publisher's black and white paper wrappers, lettered in black and white. Near fine, with light toning to spine, light edgewear, and "AH" written inside the "O" in "Howl" on the title-page. Overall, an excellent copy. Published as the fourth installment of City Lights' Pocket Poets Series, Howl and Other Poems is Allen Ginsberg's first collection of poetry, which opens with the iconic line "I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness." In many ways the mantra of the Beat Movement, "Howl" observes and addresses problems in American society. In addition to "Howl" this volume includes "A Supermarket in California," "Sunflower Sutra," "America," and "In Back of the Real," among others.
