Description
Beat Poetry by Larry Beckett A collection of poetry from the San Francisco Renaissance of the 1950s, reconsidered as literature. This book brings together the work of key poets, including Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, and others, in a single volume. Scholarship meets poetic intuition in this generous and insightful exploration of American poetry's "wild-side school-out-of-school" movement. The result is a vivid and readable testament to the Beats, providing a useful introduction to their twentieth-century "oral scripture".
