who do you like? i quite enjoy John Wieners, Philip Lamantia and (as you can see) Peter Orlovsky, (as well as the obvious Ginsberg, Burroughs..not really poet, but writer... whatever) any writers/poets/artists you like fromt his era?

golden child · 07.13.2006, 11:11 PM

k-krack · 07.13.2006, 11:17 PM

I don't know if i have read or heard any of him. (I have this box set "Howls Raps and Roars," and i have researched a select few). I'll check him out.

He was friends with Kerouac and crew......he is Japhy Ryder in the Dharma Bums. Check out the Gary Snyder Reader.

burroughs, ginsberg, kerouac, bukowski, orlovsky, mcclure, i would put henry miller in this much but he is earlier

Cantankerous · 07.14.2006, 12:14 AM

william s. burroughs and ginsberg are my favorites.
kerouac kind of pisses me off.

terminal pharmacy · 07.14.2006, 12:25 AM

burroughs is my all time favourite author, never read anything that has excited me more than a william burroughs novel

static-harmony · 07.14.2006, 01:02 AM

I would say burroughs is a better writer than kerouac but I could see why kerouac would be way on top. I really liked junky by burrough's. My favorite poet is ginsberg.

k-krack · 07.14.2006, 01:08 AM

oh shit, how did i ever forget Kerouac!!!??? (add him to the list up there). i just just just finished Naked Lunch. (the first one i have read of his) what next?

I like Gregory Corso's self-penned epitaph:

Spirit
is Life
It flows thru
the death of me
endlessly
like a river
unafraid
of becoming
the sea

krastian · 07.14.2006, 11:26 PM

^Yeah man....that reminds me a lot of Snyder.

afterthefact · 07.15.2006, 12:19 AM

I only recently got into poetry itself, so this may be an obvious choice, since I haven't delved too deep into it yet, but I like Saul Williams... any other suggestions for beginners?

krastian · 07.15.2006, 12:32 AM

^William Carlos Williams....drunken suggestion, but yeah.

that's fine, cause it was a drunken question.

nomadicfollower · 07.16.2006, 04:31 PM

I didn't like Naked Lunch. A waste of time.

Anyway, Kerouac and Ginsberg are pretty much the best of the beats. I would add Gary Snyder, but I haven't read enough to really say.

HaydenAsche · 07.16.2006, 06:43 PM

Bradley Hathaway is the worst poet ever. I saw him live Friday night and was thoroughly pissed off.
