Abstract

This study deals with the modern American poet Allan Ginsberg who lived between the years 1926 and 1997 .
He belongs to a group of poets who became known after the second world war as" The Beat Generation " The group included the poet Jack Keronac who was the first to use the term " The Beat Generation " in 1948 . This group of pots called for going back to essential sources in addition to the use of spoken language and shocking imagery , Moreover , they showed concernin subjects related to sex , drugs and hallucination as it is clear in Ginsberg's poetry . These poets show a common concern in spiritual and political subjects which came as a reaction to the fatal conditions under which people lived after the second world war and American's involvement in it and in Vietnam.
