What is Howl in the Glen?
Student Volunteers take turns reading from Allen Ginsberg’s poem “Howl” to an audience of students. The event is held during the fall in the Root Glen.
When was it?
This semester’s Howl in the Glen was held last Saturday, the 1st of November.
Why the Glen?
The Glen removes the participants from the campus and insulates the event in the peace of the Glen. It adds to the poem’s commentary on society.
