Allen Ginsberg T-Shirt

The original leader and spokesperson of the Beat Generation. Allen Ginsberg: radical, nonconformist, free-speech activist, gay rights campaigner and poet. His image on this t-shirt is overlaid with the classic opening lines to his 1956 poem “Howl”: “I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked, dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn looking for an angry fix, angelheaded hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly connection to the starry dynamo in the machinery of night, who poverty and tatters and hollow-eyed and high sat up smoking in the supernatural darkness of cold-water flats floating across the tops of cities contemplating jazz”
