Allen Ginsberg

Allen Ginsberg (1926-97) was born in Newark, New Jersey, to a poet-teacher father and Russian emigre mother. When "Howl and Other Poems" was impounded by San Francisco customs in 1956, the subsequent trial for obscenity catapulted Ginsberg and his publisher City Lights to national fame and helped to define the Beat Generation.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-97) s-a nascut in Newark, New Jersey, dintr-un tata poet-profesor si dintr-o mama emigrata rusa. Cand ,,Howl and Other Poems" a fost confiscat de obiceiurile din San Francisco in 1956, procesul ulterior pentru obscenitate i-a catapultat pe Ginsberg si pe editorul sau City Lights la faima nationala si a ajutat la definirea Beat Generation.
