Howl, America, and Song were my favorite poems in this. Ginsberg writes from his perspective living a sad and lonely life because of how the system has/is/and seems that it’ll always be against humanity. 

I’m new to poetry, but I enjoyed the rhythm Ginsberg uses in his writing — it makes me read out loud and helps me form a deeper connection to the feelings portrayed.
