Working alongside Allen Ginsberg, Gary Snyder, and Jack Kerouac, Whalen developed a conversational and visually unorthodox style that is unique in contemporary poetry. His lifelong engagement with the impermanent and sensuous, concerns deepened by his commitment to Zen Buddhism, are on rich display here, along with his warm humor and original illustrations. This Collected Poems rightfully places Whalen among the foremost poets of his time, offering readers a truly major body of American poetic work. 1210230 28 12 2007 The Collected Poems of Philip Whalen (Wesleyan Poetry) total:35|5:29|4:6| 35 169 63 8 5 1 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Tue Jan 22 10:31:04 -0800 2008 Tue Jan 22 10:48:13 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 1 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sun Jan 20 16:30:21 -0800 2008 Sun Jan 20 16:45:29 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sat May 03 12:42:24 -0700 2008 Sat May 03 12:47:30 -0700 2008 more...]]> 0 0 false false Sun Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Thu Jun 18 12:50:52 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 18 12:51:12 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Jun 05 18:09:18 -0700 2008 Thu Jun 05 18:10:41 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Mon Apr 20 12:11:47 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 09 15:31:55 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 20 12:11:47 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Jun 22 21:11:55 -0700 2008 Sun Jun 22 21:12:52 -0700 2008 than some of his other beat contemporaries]]> 5 1 false false Tue Dec 30 12:25:09 -0800 2008 Mon Jan 21 14:35:14 -0800 2008 Tue Dec 30 12:25:09 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Tue Oct 13 00:44:32 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 13 00:44:35 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Oct 10 23:41:20 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 10 23:41:20 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Thu Sep 03 10:09:30 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 03 10:09:30 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sun Jun 21 03:12:17 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 21 03:19:56 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue May 26 09:56:05 -0700 2009 Tue May 26 09:56:07 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed May 06 18:22:44 -0700 2009 Wed May 06 18:22:44 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat May 02 20:20:38 -0700 2009 Sat May 02 20:20:38 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Apr 19 04:32:12 -0700 2009 Sun Apr 19 04:32:12 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Apr 07 10:23:10 -0700 2009 Wed Nov 04 10:22:24 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Wed Mar 18 19:03:16 -0700 2009 Thu May 07 07:24:32 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Mar 09 14:13:15 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 09 14:13:15 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Mar 04 06:37:27 -0800 2009 Wed Mar 04 06:37:30 -0800 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=1221739
