Allen Ginsberg was an American poet and one of the leading figures of the Beat Generation. He is best known for his poem "Howl," which became a touchstone of the countercultural movement of the 1950s. Ginsberg's work is marked by its frank exploration of sexuality, politics, and spirituality, and he is known for his spontaneous and improvisational writing style.
