Description
A collection of haiku and prose from a pivotal moment in American literary history. In 1959, three key figures of the Beat Movement embarked on a cross-country journey, sharing stories, songs, and poetry along the way. The resulting Trip Trap is a unique record of their travels, featuring haiku written by Jack Kerouac, Albert Saijo, and Lew Welch, as well as a recollection of the trip by Saijo and an excerpt from Welch's unfinished novel. This anthology offers a glimpse into the creative process of three major poets of the Beat Generation. Published in 1973, Trip Trap is a rare opportunity to explore the work of these influential writers, who were instrumental in shaping the literary landscape of the 1950s and 1960s.
