'''Allen Ginsberg''' (1926-1997) was an American poet known for his political views, influence on [[The Beat Generation]], and incendiary poetry. His best known work is [[Howl]], but he is almost as well known for the company he kept (the beats in [[The Fifties]], [[New Age Retro Hippie|the hippies]] in [[The Sixties]]).

* [[Badass Bookworm]]: Despite his (deserved) reputation as a maverick and a bohemian, Ginsberg was an excellent, serious student (nicknamed "the Professor" as an undergrad).
* [[Banned in China]]: Most know about the infamous obscenity trial upon the publication of "Howl". His work is still banned from many school libraries today.
