Allen Ginsberg

  • Review this attraction

  • Ginsberg (1926–97) cleared the way for the eventual Gay Liberation Movement by openly declaring his homosexuality in his literary milestone Howl , first unveiled to the public in 1955 (see Howl). His epic poem soon attracted charges of obscenity in the buttoned-down, witch-hunting 1950s. Ginsberg’s spiritual mysticism also set the tone for the Hippie Movement.
