Happy scandalous anniversary to Allen Ginsberg's 'Howl'
Allen Ginsberg reads to a crowd in 1966, nine years after the publication of his controversial poem "Howl." (Associated Press) On this date, March 25, in 1957, Allen Ginsberg helped make literary history. That's because 520 copies of his poem "Howl" were seized by U.S. Customs agents on charges of obscenity.
