Beat Generation

[Ben Jackson]

Beat Generation is a literary movement which explored US/East religion, rejection of economic materialism and exploitation of psychedlic drugs and sexual liberation. Influences in this movement include Breton, Rimbaud, Blake, Poe, Artaud, Proust and Joyce. Key members include Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, Ferlingetti, Gary Synder, Gregory Corso and William Burroughs. Beats influenced songwriters like Beatles, Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin, Lou Reed, Jim Morrison and Patti Smith.

Do Delphi Classics send their books to Brazil or are you buying them as e-books, Benny?

Yes. It's a digital publisher house. Its books are available in 3 formats: epub (for Google Play Books), mobi (for Kindle) and pdf (for Adobe).

Well, I'd like to instill two names of Beat Generation: Joanne Kyger and Diane di Prima.

In Brazil, we had a similar movement called Os Novíssimos [The Newest Poets] whose key names are: the late Cláudio Willer, Roberto Piva, Roberto Bicelli, Antonio Bivar, Maninha Cavalcante, etc.
