Allen Ginsberg

A revolutionary, subversive and non-violent poet who became known for his association with the beatniks of the late forties and fifties, but later became involved in the flower children movement of the sixties. His controversial poem, "Howl," was tried in obscenity court for its content, but Ginsberg was victorious in its acquittal.
