Jack Keourac wrote Howl while on a drug binge; Kerouac was on a series of hallucinogen drugs and he wrote Howl in a stream of consciousness state of mind.
From BlergK: No, Jack Kerouac did not write Howl. Allen Ginsberg wrote Howl. While the two of them were often associated in the same circles and were parts of both the Beat Generation as well as the "Great San Francisco Poets" as Kerouac labels them at one point in his novel Big Sur, Kerouac did not write Howl. The above answer may be confusing Kerouac's writing of On The Roadwhich Kerouac wrote over the course of a twenty day binge of benzedrine, marijuana, and possibly other drugs.

Not certain, but my money is on Jack Kerouac.
Jack Kerouac was definitly essential in the whole beat generation. His 1st book, On the Road. A review appeared in the New York Times Weeks later proclaiming Kerouac as the voice of a new generation. The term "Beat Generation" was invented by Kerouac during a conversation held with fellow novelist Herbert Huncke. "Beat" to describe someone living with no money and few prospects. "Beat to my socks," he said. Huncke coined the phrase "Beat" in a conversation with Jack Kerouac, who was interested in how their generation would be remembered. "I'm beat," was Huncke's reply, meaning tired and beat to his socks. Kerouac used the term to describe an entire generation.

To answer such a question is to ask why Kerouac was a writer. Kerouac was writing about his experiences during a period of time known as the beat age. It was post world war II. Kerouac wanted to write about his experiences on the road. This can be seen as a stepping stone from Whitman's poem the "open road". One can say that the road to America is closed, the wilderness is populated with suburbs, factories, and stores (i.e. walmart). Kerouac wanted another life, one of spontaneity and life, not one of a 40 work week, with weekends off to watch TV sitcoms. On the road was a description of a goup of artists living in the late 40 and 50's. Kerouac was not a hippe. In fact he was very conservative politically. Kerouac was a bebop musician, his writings are like a jazz song. Watch the episode of the Steve allan show where he recites his poetry.
