Queer Artists to Know: Allen Ginsberg - Ballad of the Skeletons
“Irwin Allen Ginsberg was an American poet and one of the leading figures of the Beat Generation in the 1950s. He vigorously opposed militarism, materialism and sexual repression. Ginsberg is best known for his epic poem “Howl”, in which he celebrated his fellow “angel-headed hipsters” and harshly denounced what he saw as the destructive forces of capitalism and conformity in the United States.” -Wikipedia
Also, if you’re into Ginsberg, poetry, art, or James Franco, check out the movie Howl (starting Franco as Ginsberg).
