I carry this collection with me literally everywhere and read at least a poem or two from it every day. I feel the poems in this collection are beautiful and charismatic, and sadly the style he used in these isn't seen in many of his other poems. I suppose that's what makes Ginsberg great, every collection offers a little something different. If you like Howl, buy this collection immediately!

"Kaddish" is Ginsberg's memorable and moving autobiographical poem about his mentally ill mother and his troubled relationship with her. This long poem is a sort of elegy written after his mother's death, and after recounting his feelings and incidents in her life, he gives his farewell. Another poem I really like in this collection is "At Apolinaire's Grave."

Kaddish is Ginsberg's second most important work. This edition contains all of Ginsberg's best pieces from the late Fifties: Kaddish, Poem Rocket, Death to Van Gogh's Ear!, and The Reply. Get this book and the Pocket Poets edition of Howl and you will be all set to enjoy Ginsberg.
