What is the author's style in Howl, and Other Poems by Allen Ginsberg?

The Point of View of this collection of poems is first person. The one exception is the poem "Wild Orphan" where he uses a third-person viewpoint. In all the other poems, Ginsberg is speaking directly to us in the "I." He is not holding back from us his deepest thoughts and beliefs. His point of view is emphatic and passionate and unrestrained.

The language of the poems is very informal and in a way, stream-of-consciousness in feel. The writing is not formal classical poetics. It is free verse writing of a heightened nature, which makes its direct style very powerful.
