Ginsberg said, "Ideally each line of 'Howl' is a single breath unit. My breath is long—that's the measure, one physical-mental inspiration of thought contained in the elastic of a breath.

On another occasion, he explained: On the basis of one line in particular. Customs officials seized copies of the poem on March 25, , being imported from the printer in London. City Lights Publisher Lawrence Ferlinghetti was subsequently arrested for publishing the book. At the obscenity trial, nine literary experts testified on the poem's behalf. The case was widely publicized. Articles appeared in both Time and Life magazines. An account of the trial was published by Ferlinghetti's lead defense attorney Jake Ehrlich in a book called Howl of the Censor.
The film Howl depicts the events of the trial. Part one of "Howl" was broadcast in Finland on September 30, , on Yleisradio 's Finland's national public-broadcasting company "parallel programme" at The poem was read by three actors with jazz music specially composed for this radio broadcast by Henrik Otto Donner.
The poem was preceded by an eight-minute introduction. The Finnish translation was made by Anselm Hollo.
It was signed by him and 82 other members of the members of parliament. The interpellation text only contained a short extract of six lines considered to be offensive, and representative of the poem of over seventy from the poem, and the debate was mainly based upon them. Also, a report of an offence was filed to the criminal investigation department of Helsinki police district because the obscenity of the poem allegedly offended modesty and delicacy.
The report was filed by Suomen kotien radio- ja televisioliitto The radio and television association of Finnish homes , a Christian and patriotic organization, and it was only based on the six-line fragment. In connection with that, Yleisradio was—without grounds—accused of copyright violation as well. Yleisradio is formally the parliament's radio station, and at that time, it was considered a bastion of left-minded editors and "radicalists", especially because of Eino S. Repo , the president of Yleisradio. So the "Howl" broadcast provided the right-wing politicians a good reason to question the operations of Yleisradio in general, especially in the light of the parliamentary election next year.
There was a heated debate in the parliament and in the press in late concerning the educational role of the public service radio station that Yleisradio is, and the artistic value of Ginsberg's poem, whether it is art or mere pornography. The debate seemed to boil down to the question of which words could be allowed in public-service radio.

Finally, the Ministry of Transport and Public Works considered in December that the broadcast of "Howl" contravened the licence of operation of Yleisradio: Yleisradio received a reprimand , and was instructed to be more careful when monitoring that no more such programs should be broadcast. Eberhart's piece helped call national attention to "Howl" as "the most remarkable poem of the young group" of poets who were becoming known as the spokespersons of the Beat generation.
Boston independent alternative rock radio station WFNX became the first commercial radio station to broadcast "Howl" on Friday, July 18, at 6: The station chose instead to play the poem on a special webcast program, replete with commentary by Bob Holman, Regina Weinreich and Ron Collins, narrated by Janet Coleman , on October 3, Part II of the poem was used as libretto for Song 7 in Hydrogen Jukebox , a chamber opera using a selection of Ginsberg's poems set to music by Philip Glass.
An excerpt from the poem was used in "Mad Generation Loss", a sound recording exploring generation loss , partly inspired by Alvin Lucier's I am Sitting in a Room.

Part of the reason Ginsberg was suspended in his sophomore year [40] from Columbia University was because he wrote obscenities in his dirty dorm window. He suspected the cleaning woman of being an anti-Semite because she never cleaned his window, and he expressed this feeling in explicit terms on his window, by writing "Fuck the Jews", and drawing a swastika. He also wrote a phrase on the window implying that the president of the university had no testicles. Bickford's and Fugazzi's were New York spots where the Beats hung out.
