Summary
"Amassed from the riches of the Naropa University audio archives, this collection offers an exciting new look at the Beats--whose influence lives on in the art and politics of our time. In these conversational talks and interviews readers are introduced to the hard truths behind being a Beat woman, the haunting accuracy of William Burrough's world-view, the passion and energy of Allen Ginsberg and Anne Waldman, Jack Kerouac's innovative musicality, Diane di Prima's foray into small press publishing, Michael McClure's account of the famous first reading of 'Howl,' and, most of all, the inspirations behind America's most provocative and prescient thinkers"--, Back cover
