Beatdom #24: The West Coast Issue

Beatdom #24 is dedicated to the Beat writers who lived on or wrote about the West Coast of the United States. This issue looks at the lives and work of Kenneth Rexroth, Robert Duncan, Diane di Prima, and many more Beat icons. It also explores the extent to which the West Coast helped shape Beat literature (as well as its public image) and how the Beats may have morphed into the later hippie movement.
Here's what you can expect from Beatdom #24:
