  1. The Beats

    A photographic record of a cross-country journey made by American photographer Larry Fink in 1958. He and a group of counter culture artist friends traveled from their home in Greenwich Village to Houston + then on to Mexico

    In his own words: 'It was my fate to be aligned with the Beats because of my propensity for drugs, anger, + poetry"

  3. Frozen
    in the birdbath,
    A leaf.
    -Jack Kerouac (formatting is slightly off since I can’t indent the second line on mobile)

    This is, to my mind, a wonderful #Haiku: terse, evocative, short. At eight syllables it’s “to short” but you can’t really add anything w/o ruining it.

  5. In this rather remarkable study of Allen Ginsberg there are riches to be gleaned for any serious, aspiring poet. A sort of clinical as well as scholarly biography. The book was written by a psychiatrist who actually knew, as well as interviewed, Allen Ginsberg. Please read the rest of my review here:
