Huge Dreams republishes two books, out of print for thirty years, which together are a cornerstone of the Beat movement: The New Book/A Book of Torture and Star. Both were influential in expanding poetry into a larger world:the West Coast Beat phenomena, which focused on nature, the environment, antiwar activities, individual anarchism, Zen Buddhism, jazz, and a kind of romantic mystical thought. With these books Michael McClure brought an animal energy and a knowledge of art and physical human nature that was new to the scene.The New Book/A Book of Torture was written spontaneously while McClure was in a dark night of the soul brought on by psychedelics. A single long poem of experience and exploration, it offers the means of liberation from the darkness it examines. Star is a wideranging book of chalice seeking, spiritual discovery, and political protest, grounded in the emotions and sensations of eros and play.

I bought this poetry book as a gift for my brother who loves the beats. He enjoyed most of it, but he mentioned a few poems felt a bit meandering. The collection is still worth it for the ones that really shine. Just be prepared for some that might not resonate with everyone.

Interesting read but some poems missed the mark

Disappointed with the quality
I wanted to love 'San Francisco and Beat Poems' from Huge Dreams, but the copy I received had some pages that were crinkled and a bit torn. The content might be great, but the physical condition was a letdown. I expected better, especially for a Penguin Poets edition.
