And that's what it is. The first of its two titles, Beat & Pieces, is a previously released but little-known generational history in Allen Ginsberg's enlightening Beat-era photographs and handwritten notes alongside Fernanda Pivano's contextual essay. The second title, Beat Books, which appears in its first edition here, catalogs the covers of the most seminal Beat publications--from Lawrence Ferlinghetti's A Coney Island of the Mind to Ginsberg's Howl to Jack Kerouac's On the Road, alongside lesser-known books and a wide variety of anthologies and journals featuring such key voices as Gregory Corso, William Burroughs and Brion Gysin, among others. It lovingly collects Evergreen paperbacks, Two Cities editions, the bright red Pocket Poets volumes, and even a mass-market Signet paperback entitled Beat Beat Beat: A Hip Collection of Cool Cartoons About Life and Love Among the Beatniks.
