In which prominent Beat figures, writers and critics, historians and academics, fans and followers, talk about the relationship between that literary community and music
A fine interview. I particularly resonated with what Mr. Turner had to say about the lines of influence on the Beats and by the Beats, and the distinction he makes between meaningful creative influence and lifestyle affinity. His observation about how the interfaces between music, poetry, religion and counterculture affected his development as a poet resonated with me strongly.
Always interesting to read how people first encountered the Beats. I'm not sure I would be able to answer a question like that - ha!
