Their names were Neal Cassady, Gregory Corso, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Allen Ginsberg, Herbert Huncke, Jack Kerouak, and Carl Solomon: their wild, hallucinatory poems dialogued with the novels of William S. Burroughs and John Clellon Holmes, and were born from journeys—geographical or symbolic—toward catharsis. Sex, drugs, and religion: the Beats fought to write as they wanted… and live as they wanted.
