The Beats were a generation of rambling poets, mystics, philosophers, rebel intellectuals, and writers growing up in a world defined by its newness and the uncertainty of the future. Kerouac, Ginsberg, Ferlinghetti, Burroughs; icons of American and literary history and, more importantly, virulently independent individuals determined to free themselves of the chains of literary and social dogma and usher in a new renaissance of free thought, free speech, free action - the freedom to experiment with life and the written word and to create in whatever way they chose. In this episode, I speak to the very knowledgable and generous founder of the Beat Museum, Jerry Cimino, in beautiful San Francisco! His insights and anecdotes are not only fascinating, erudite, and well-thought-out, but often funny and touching. I am thrilled to present the very first episode of Literated - I hope you enjoy! Stay tuned for much more and if you enjoy it, you probably already know what to do! (Rate, review, recommend!)
