check this out. Howl is much more enjoyable when you listen to Ginsberg read it

when I read it to myself there was more emotion. Ginsberg is monotone in this recording. I guess it fits since he sounds like he's rambling

yeah I noticed that too. And it struck me how literal the movie was. The thing that stuck out the most was when he repeated "boxcars"

because it actually sounded like a train to me

I thought of that effect when I was reading it. It was nice to hear it too.

Thanks for this. Definitely much better to hear him read it.

Hearing it definitely helped! But seeing it was a little disturbing.
