Originating in the late 1940s and grown from the bohemian artist communities of America, the Beat Generation sought to transform literature into an expression of genuine lived experience. Rebelling against the perceived joylessness and consumerism of post-war society at that time, the Beat Generation writers subverted literary norms and expectations, often performing their free-flowing experimental works aloud and accompanied by jazz.
From Ferlinghetti's and Snyder's poetry to Kerouac's On the Road and The Dharma Bums, this set of six includes some of the greatest works of this movement.
Inspired by the smoky cafes where these artists spent their time writing and performing, our limited palette design evokes this unique literary movement.

"I am very pleased with my order. Juniper Books' jacket quality is superb: the paper is superior to what's normally found on a dustjacket, the matte texture is satisfying the touch (weird, but true), and--of course--the art design is most arresting."Lynette
