[…] It’s where Ginsberg sat and chanted the Hare Krishna poem in 1966 [said to mark the founding of the religion in the US] and where the annual Howl Festival [May 31 to June 2] now sets up. Every year on the last Friday in May, around Allen’s birthday, there is a group reading of Allen’s masterpiece, “Howl.” It’s great to see the beat poets’ traditions continuing.
