This seventh collection of essays and reviews follows on from the previous six in bringing together what I like to think is largely a sur-vey of mostly lesser-known writers, poets, artists, musicians, and related people and their publications. Some names in the list of con-tents will be immediately identifiable, but it could be that certain aspects of their work may not be familiar to most readers. Walt Whitman’s links to a group of early American bohemians is an ex-ample of what I’m suggesting. As with the previous books, the Beats have a central role, though I hope I’ve looked at a few lesser-known poets, such as Bob Kaufman, along with pieces on Kerouac and Lawrence Ferlinghetti. |
