"Their language was dizzying, drunken, irreverent, tender, scatological, elegiac, and often hilarious. They were the Beats. Strictly speaking, the group comprised Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, William Burroughs, Neal Cassidy, and Herbert Huncke, but the term also extended to intersecting groups of post-World War II American writers--among them poets of the San Francisco Renaissance, the Black Mountain School, and the New York School. Additionally, there were various hangers-on, wannabe bohemians, and so-called second-generation Beats--all disillusioned (but not cynical) young people struggling to redefine themselves, to discover sexual and political liberation and perhaps a new kind of faith. 'Beat' was not just about a common aesthetic. It was also a lifestyle, a state of mind." -- Carmela Ciuraru
This course is going to take a deep dive into the Beat generation's poets and poetry, its context and content; dropping a mouse into its labyrinth and finding our way out.
This seminar will be held live at the university in real time and space.
