Irwin Allen Ginsberg, né le 3 juin 1926 à Newark et mort le 5 avril 1997 à New York, est un poète américain, membre fondateur de la Beat Generation, du mouvement hippie et de la contre-culture américaine. Ses prises de position homosexuelles, pacifistes et bouddhistes lui valurent de fréquents démêlés avec la justice. Son œuvre, scandaleuse dans les années 1960, fut récompensée à partir des années 1970. Wikipedia
