Fall Delights at Alsea and Green Peak Falls

To celebrate, he organized the Nova Convention, a gathering combining the most influential literary minds of the Beat and hippie generations (many of whom found their way into Eugene at some point during the peak of their careers): Allen Ginsberg, Timothy Leary, Phillip Glass, John Giorno, Frank Zappa and more.
