Learn the History of the Beat Generation

Beat Generation

I founded the National Beat Poetry Foundation, Inc. to bring different perspectives to how people view the beat poets.

I feel a great injustice was done in the past to many of the poets associated with the Beats. My goal is to bring people together through poetry, art and music. Change the negative views and warped truths of beat poets into a positive image. I try to focus on the natural world, respect all forms of life, and help preserve what is left of the wild spaces and the Earth itself. We are all interconnected to each other. Our words matter. The beat laureates in my organization are trying to be better versions of themselves by doing good in this world. I’m building a new generation of beat poets. Freedom and growth and giving all people a voice. I did not experience that in traditional poetry circles. I wasn’t accepted there. To me the word Beat means to keep evolving.
