![]() Working with the Ginsberg Estate, Omnivore will release At Reed College: The First Recorded Reading of Howl & Other Poems this spring. Audrey Bilger and her wife, Cheryl Pawelski - the co-founder of Omnivore Recordings - changed that. Those tapes were discovered in a box in 2007 by author John Suiter, but they remained inaccessible for years. Prior to Ginsberg’s Berkeley performance, he spent February 13th and 14th, 1956, at Reed College in Portland, Oregon, reading alongside poet Gary Snyder. However, a newly discovered recording proves otherwise. It was not recorded, though, leading many to claim that the first recorded reading took place in Berkeley, California, the following year. ![]() Ginsberg’s debut public reading of one of the greatest works of American literature occurred at San Francisco’s Six Gallery in October 1955, with Jack Kerouac, Neal Cassady, and Lawrence Ferlinghetti in attendance. The first recorded reading of Allen Ginsberg’s poem “Howl,” which was lost for decades, will be finally be released on April 2nd, 2021. ![]()
