BEAT: The Latter Days of the Beat Generation is a first-hand account by Andy Clausen, an unfiltered chronicle of the wild escapades of those who made the living poetry that expressed the atomic age and beyond. Here is Ginsberg, Corso, Burroughs, Cassady, di Prima, Waldman, Micheline, Kesey, Bukowski, Kaufman, Vega, Bremser, & many others. First-hand accounts from East Coast to West Coast, Prague to Kathmandu, Andy Clausen was there. Clausen’s book of eyewitness memoirs, stories, anecdotes, and revelations of the generation that changed poetry, music, and literature and ushered in the psychedelic era, is infused with the underlying premise that Beat is Alive.

With pen-and-ink illustrations from the sketchbooks of Michael Woyczuk.
