When someone says the name “Allen Ginsberg”, any number of things immediately come to mind. Ginsberg was a celebrated US poet, and his work “Howl” is world famous. But he was also a noted activist. Not only did Ginsberg vehemently decry the war in Vietnam, but he was at the forefront of the battle against drug criminalization […]
