I just found a video from Ken Kesey (September 17, 1935 – November 10, 2001) and other poets. No idea who who is. Who can help me?

THE POETIC HOOHAW In the mid 70’s Ken and the Pranksters produced a poetry festival unlike any other. It was held in springtime on the University of Oregon campus “Mid-day to mid-nite, bring a blanket, a buddy, and a bongo”. This highlight video includes the poet party at the Kesey Farm. This video has come back out of the vaults due to popular demand. Featuring William Burroughs, Anne Waldman, Allen Ginsberg, Peter Orlovsky, Gregory Corso, Ken Kesey, Ed Edmo, Paul Krassner, Wavy Gravy, Mr. Spoon, Rahsaan Roland Kirk (final performance) Flying Karamatzov Brothers, Ken Babbs, Bob Kaufman, Jack Micheline, Mimes, Jazz, Comedians, Kids, dogs, and Amazing Feats.
