San Francisco Beat is an essential archive of the Beat Generation, a rich moment in a fortunate place. America, somnolent, conformist and paranoid in the 1950s, was changed forever by a handful of people who refused an existence of drudgery and enterprise, opting instead for a life of personal, spiritual and artistic adventure. In these intimate, freewheeling conversations, a baker's dozen of the poets of San Francisco talk about the scene then and now, the traditions of poetry, and about anarchism, globalism, Zen, the Bomb, the Kabbalah and the Internet.Diane di Prima, William Everson, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Jack Hirschman, Joanne Kyger, Philip Lamantia, Michael McClure, David Meltzer, Jack Micheline, Kenneth Rexroth, Gary Snyder, Lew Welch, Philip Whalen" . . . as we begin to slip into a national slumber somewhat akin to that of the Eisenhower years, its exhilarating to have this squall line of Beats pass through our consciousness."Kirkus Reviews" . . . fierce engagement executed with humor and vernacular sensitivity."Dale Smith, Austin ChronicleDavid Meltzer (19372016) was the author of many books of poetry, including Tens, The Name, Arrows: Selected Poetry 19571992 and TwoWay Mirror (City Lights).
