HOWL

This evening's HOWL is not an homage: it's a portal. A real-time, off-line, be-bop lean into the "visions! omens! hallucinations! miracles! ecstasies!" of America "then" and "now." A reminder, a wake up call, an invitation to Howl about the Road we've been on. HOWL looks back to a generation "destroyed by madness" to find a mirror for our own Facebook walls and Twittered souls. Ladies and gentleman, an evening of HOWL is a link with or without http:// : a watershed conduit of a poem that is as provocative now as it was then.

"..the most remarkable poem of the [Beat generation]." The New York Times Book Review
