Beat Voices: An Anthology of Beat Poetry

By David Kherdian

Book Overview

In the conservative 1950s, a small group of unknown poets, writers, and assorted outcasts, among them Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, and Gregory Corso, unwittingly inspired a bloodless revolution that changed literature and lifestyle forever. "Young adults will appreciate the poems, which demonstrate the rage and sensuality of the times."--Kirkus Reviews
