HETTIE JONES on BEAT POETS
Listen to Audio
(approx 1 h 15 min)
Poet and prose writer, Hettie Jones is the author of How I Became Hettie Jones, a memoir of the "beat scene" of the fifties and sixties. Her talk, The Beats Go On, addresses many typical questions about this often-discussed group of writers such as: who were the Beat Poets, why are they “beat” and what does that mean? A look at their work, and the decades of the fifties and sixties in which they wrote, will explain why they remain iconic figures in American poetry. May 18, 2008
