Description & Specifications

This inspiring anthology includes works from more than twenty-five authors from the great countercultural literary movement of the twentieth century. Written with provocative confidence and iconoclastic vitality, the Beats created literature with previously unthinkable expressive range. The defining works of Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac establish this collection, which also includes the improvised verse of legendary figures such as Gregory Corso, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Gary Snyder, and Michael McClure, as well as works by women writers like Diane di Prima and Denise Levertov. The vivid "Preface to a Twenty-Volume Suicide Note" by LeRoi Jones and Bob Kaufman's poignant "Abomunist Manifesto" appear here alongside statements on poetics and the alternately incendiary and honest correspondence of the Beat Generation authors. Violent and powerful, filled with immediate spiritual and social awareness, this is a rich and diverse dedication and, in the spirit of the Beat people, a vital addition to readers' libraries everywhere.
