Widely known for his literary genius and infamous for his interest in exploring body, mind & soul through the use of psychoactive substances and eastern methods like meditation & chanting, Allen Ginsberg was a central figure in the Cultural Revolution of the 60ies, bridging the "Great Depression" era of Burroughs & Kerouac and the multi-colored craziness of Berkeley and Haight-Ashbury.
