On the Spatial Form in Allen Ginsberg’s Howl
Gui-Jun Li, Jun Luo
Published : Dec. 30, 2017
Abstract
Seemingly quaint and unbearable as it is at the very age of American
poetic revolution, Howl seems to raise the extensive attentions of poetic scholars
around the world who have been impressed by his leading impression on beat
generation and poetic forum owing to his organic integration of his own sexual
identity into the poetic publicity and popularity of his poetic production instead of
his poetic oneness concerning the spatial form in the poem. To raise poetic
scholars‟ academic attention and interest in highlighting the academic values of
this poem in this regard, this essay will give a new interpretation of it by making an
exploration of its abstract spatial form, perceptive spatial form as well as
imaginative spatial form one by one.
