false 1143749 2 Like his college roommate Gary Snyder, Philip Whalen took both poetry and Zen seriously. He became friends with Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, and Michael McClure, and played a key role in the explosive poetic revolution of the '50s and '60s. Celebrated for his wisdom and good humor, Whalen transformed the poem for a generation. His writing, taken as a whole, forms a monumental stream of consciousness (or, as Whalen calls it, "continuous nerve movie") of a wild, deeply read, and fiercely independent American-one who refuses to belong, who celebrates and glorifies the small beauties to be found everywhere he looks. This long-awaited Selected Poems is a welcome opportunity to hear his influential voice again. 1131193 1 5 1999 Overtime: Selected Poems (Penguin Poets) total:32|5:18|4:10|3:3|2:1| 32 141 47 3 5 0 false false Sun Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2002 Sat Aug 25 18:05:09 -0700 2007 Sat Aug 25 18:09:18 -0700 2007 more...]]> 4 0 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Wed Jan 16 13:21:32 -0800 2008 Wed Jan 16 13:26:52 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Sun Feb 10 19:58:59 -0800 2008 Sun Feb 10 19:59:26 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Sun Sep 06 08:12:37 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 06 08:12:37 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Thu Sep 03 10:09:31 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 03 10:09:31 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Jul 11 20:29:30 -0700 2009 Sat Jul 11 20:29:30 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Jul 10 12:59:04 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 10 12:59:07 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat May 30 18:44:16 -0700 2009 Sat May 30 18:44:16 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed May 06 17:57:29 -0700 2009 Wed May 06 17:57:29 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sat May 02 15:07:28 -0700 2009 Sat May 02 15:07:37 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Thu Apr 23 14:42:50 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 23 14:42:50 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Nov 13 19:08:00 -0800 2008 Thu Nov 13 19:08:00 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Thu Nov 13 07:08:25 -0800 2008 Thu Nov 13 07:08:25 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Thu Nov 13 06:51:03 -0800 2008 Thu Nov 13 06:51:03 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Sat Sep 13 18:28:44 -0700 2008 Sat Sep 13 18:28:44 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sun Sep 07 18:51:23 -0700 2008 Sun Sep 07 18:51:23 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Sun Sep 07 16:03:15 -0700 2008 Sun Sep 07 16:03:15 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Mon Sep 01 13:24:01 -0700 2008 Mon Sep 01 13:24:01 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Sun Aug 31 01:45:32 -0700 2008 Sun Aug 31 01:45:32 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Fri Aug 29 06:48:10 -0700 2008 Fri Aug 29 06:48:10 -0700 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=1143749
