The Denver Beat Scene: The Mile-High Legacy of Kerouac, Cassady & Ginsberg

By Zack Kopp

Book Overview

The Beat Generation descended on Denver with the same feverish intensity that rattled the caf s and art galleries of New York and San Francisco. Home to Neal Cassady and favorite stomping ground for both Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg, the Mile-High City still pulses with the energy that made it a nerve center for cultural change and a sanctuary for the spoken word community. Author and Beat historian Zack Kopp pairs a narrative history of the movement with a stop-by-stop guide to its Denver landmarks and hot spots.
