Allen Ginsberg, Ken Kesey & LSD (Writers Under the Influence S1 Ch2)
In this second episode, we’re examining the lives of Allen Ginsberg, author of Howl, and Ken Kesey, author of One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest. This pair of talented authors rode the countercultural wave of free love, free thought and free expression that started as a swell in the 50s and crashed over America in the 60s and 70s. Allen and Ken crossed paths frequently during this time, brought together by mutual friends such as Jack Kerouac and Timothy Leary, and a mutual appreciation for LSD. Allen led the Beats in their movement to overhaul literature, then passed the revolutionary baton onto Ken, who led the hippies in a push to change the people and the country.
