  I read this poem when I was eighteen and it is definitely one of the greatest poems in the history of the English language and perhaps one of the best of all time.

  To be listened to over &amp; over. The anguish, disappointment &amp; rebellion of post-WW2 American daymare.

  I listend to this in the car commuting to work for a whole year, every single day… I know every phrase by heart… what an overwhelmingly beautiful poem… his words and thoughts, meanings and interpretations are beyond anything I have ever read. Absolutely beautiful to listen to. Thanks for uploading this video!!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

  &quot;Upon the poem&apos;s release, Ferlinghetti and the bookstore&apos;s manager, Shigeyoshi Murao, were charged with disseminating obscene literature, and both were arrested. On October 3, 1957, Judge Clayton W. Horn ruled that the poem was not obscene&quot;

  I wish I had this much to say because I&apos;ve been stripped of my words by apathy, and I wish I was half as talented as this and brought this child into an unappreciative world.
