'''Allen Ginsberg''' ([[June 3]], [[1926]] - [[April 5]] [[1997]]) was an [[United States|American]] [[Beat poet]] born in [[Paterson, New Jersey]]. Ginsberg's [[poetry]] was strongly influenced by [[modernism]], the beats and cadence of [[jazz]], and his [[Buddhism|Buddhist]] [[faith]] and his [[Judaism|Jewish]] background. In addition, he formed a bridge between the Beats of the [[1950s]] and the hippies of the [[1960s]] befriending, amongst others, [[Jack Kerouac]], [[Neal Cassady]] and [[Bob Dylan]].

His principal work, "[[Howl]]" (ISBN 0872860175), was considered scandalous at the time of publication, due to the rawness of the language, which was frequently explicit. Shortly after its [[1956]] publication by [[San Francisco]]'s [[City Lights Bookstore]], it was banned for obscenity. The ban became a [[cause célèbre]] among defenders of the [[First Amendment]], and was later lifted after a judge declared the poem to possess redeeming social importance. Ginsberg's [[liberal]] and generally anti-establishment politics attracted the attentions of the [[FBI]] and he was regarded by them as a major security threat. (It is of some interest to note that the second part of Howl was inspired and written primarily during a [[peyote]] vision.)

Ginsberg's other major works include "[[Kaddish]]" (ISBN 0872860191), a meditation on the death of his mother (this one written while on [[amphetamines]]), Naomi Ginsberg, and "[[Hadda be Playin' on a Jukebox]]", a poem revolving around certain events of the [[1960s]] and [[1970s]]. "[[Plutonian Ode]]" (ISBN 0872861252) is a poem against [[nuclear_weapon|nuclear weaponry]]. Ginsberg was a finalist for the [[Pulitzer Prize]] for his book "Cosmopolitan Greetings: Poems 1986-1992."
