Synopsis "Aullido (in Spanish)"

Allen Ginsberg's famous poem, censored at the time and a model for new generations of poets ever since, is now presented as an unsettling and magnetic Beat graphic novel. First published in 1956, “Howl” overcame trials for censorship and obscenity to become one of the most widely read poems of all time, having been translated into more than 20 languages. Illustrated by former street artist Eric Drooker, who has since become one of the most highly regarded contemporary artists and graphic novelists, this key Beat poem takes on a new life as a graphic novel. El famoso poema de Allen Gisberg, censurado en su época y desde entonces un modelo a seguir para nuevas generaciones de poetas, se presenta ahora como una novela gráfica Beat inquietante y magnética. Publicado por primera vez en 1956, “Aullido” sobrepasó juicios de censura y de obscenidad para convertirse en uno de los poemas más leídos de todos los tiempos, habiéndose traducido a más de 20 lenguas. Ilustrado por el ex artista callejero Eric Drooker, quien desde entonces se ha convertido en uno de los artistas y novelistas gráficos contemporáneos más elogiados, este poema Beat clave ha cobrado nueva vida como novela gráfica.

Irwin Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) was one of the most emblematic figures of American alternative culture. The publication of the poem Howl (1956) was the trigger that consolidated beat poetry and gave it a concrete form. Soul of the Beat Generation, he gathered around him Jack Kerouac, Neal Cassady, and even the elusive William S. Burroughs, and fought tirelessly for the writing and publishing of his works. A prominent figure of the so-called "Flower Revolution" and the hippie movement of the sixties, he fought against war and racism, spread rock, chemical and mystical alteration of states of consciousness as a cultural element, and was always at the forefront of social and literary scenes, promoting libertarian ideas and notions of spirituality and authenticity, which always kept him in the crosshairs of the authorities. He traveled the world reciting his poems.
