Welcome to Litsy!

This was a fun, simple overview of The Beat writers and their influence on other writers and artists. Focussing mainly on SF and NY, the obvious choices, I was glad to see Chicago mentioned as well.
The bios are brief and look at their lives at large, the graphics are fantastic. My favorites are the first three: Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg and William S. Burroughs. Diana DiPalma and Michael Mc Clure were very good.
Recommended.

When in San Francisco... Head to City Lights! City Lights is a historic public space noted for its role in mid-century radical Bohemianism. They published Ginsberg's "Howl"; and successfully defended it against charges of selling obscene material. Want to know more about the Beats?
