Irwin Allen Ginsberg
(; June 3, 1926 – April 5, 1997) was an American poet and one of the leading figures of both the
Beat Generation
of the 1950s and the
counterculture that soon would follow
. He vigorously opposed
militarism
,
economic materialism
and
sexual repression
and was known as embodying various aspects of this counterculture, such as his views on drugs, hostility to
bureaucracy
and openness to
Eastern religions
. Ginsberg is best known for his epic poem "
Howl
", in which he denounced what he saw as the destructive forces of
capitalism
and
conformity
in the United States.
