Gary Snyder: Collected Poems (Loa #357) | Gary Snyder

I just received an email from LOA about a documentary about Gary Snyder, one of the last surviving Beats, & a character in one of the grimmest novels I have ever read in my life (Kerouac's Big Sur). This will be streaming this weekend. Think this will be of interest to you @leftcoastzen

Howl, and other Poems | Allen Ginsberg

pick

I read Howl back in college and didn't like Ginsberg's work or Beat poetry in general, but studying them further and disconnecting the meaning from the shocking and raunchy poems, I really like them. A lot of them are unfortunately still relevant today. the various poems are about: the government's mistreatment of the working class, anti-consumerism, and anti-war.
