from the Editor’s Note: “More than ten years ago the famous American poet Allen Ginsberg wrote a long poem about his generation called ‘Howl.’ Less than ten weeks ago the pop group called the Who made a record about their generation (which is, more or less, your generation) which consists largely of stuttering. In these poems 4C have borrowed the forms and techniques of Allen Ginsberg to put words where the Who could only stutter.”
