Ginsberg, in his work “Howl,” tried to portray a sense of cognizance for human isolation and the barriers it carries along with it. At one point, Ginsberg writes about his friend Carl Solomon. Placed in a mental institute, Carl most likely felt a sense of loneliness. Throughout the third section of Ginesberg’s poem, he showed his sympathy by writing “I’m with you in Rockland” multiple times. In a way, Ginsberg tries to make mental illnesses be seen as something normal and therefore terminate human isolation from those who suffer from them.

Two significant pieces in this article are Jack Kerouac’s On the Road and Lawrence Felinghetti’s A Coney Island of the Mind
