Despite being a slim volume of poety, a collection of verse by a popular Beat Generation poet raised quite a stir when it was first published in 1957, with U.S. customs officials seizing copies of it because it was considered obscene, an act that trigged the real-life trial that will be recreated in the forthcoming movie Howl starring James Franco. Movie tie-in.
