Charters, Ann The Portable Beat Reader New York Penguin Books 1992 0140151028 / 9780140151022 Fifth Printing Trade Paperback Very Good No Jacket 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall "Beginning in the late 1940s, American literature discovered a four-letter word, and the word was 'beat.' Beat as in poverty and beatitude, ecstasy and exile. Beat was Jack Kerouac touring the American road in prose as fast and reckless as a V-8 Chevy. It was the junk-sick surrealism of William Burroughs, the wild, Whitmanesque poetry of Allen Ginsberg, and the lumberjack Zen of Gary Snyder. The Portable Beat Reader collects the most significant writing of these and fellow members (and spiritual descendants) of the Beat Generation, including Neal Cassady, Gregory Corso, Diane DiPrima, Bob Dylan, Leroi Jones, and Michael McClure, in poetry, fiction, essays, song lyrics, letters, and memoirs." Very good white black pictorial trade paperback. Slight wear, two cover creases. 1992, 12mo, 645pp. Price:
