Beat Poets [With Ribbon Book Mark], Ciuraru Carmela, Young Kevin

The defining work of Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac provides the foundation for this collection, which also features the improvisational verse of such Beat legends as Gregory Corso, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Gary Snyder, and Michael McClure and the work of such women writers as Diane DiPrima and Denise Levertov. LeRoi Joness plaintive Preface to a Twenty Volume Suicide Note and Bob Kaufmans stirring Abomunist Manifesto appear here alongside statements on poetics and the alternately incendiary and earnest correspondence of Beat Generation writers.
