He became friends with \u003cb\u003eAllen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac\u003c\/b\u003e, and \u003cb\u003eMichael McClure\u003c\/b\u003e, 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 \u003cb\u003eSelected Poems\u003c\/b\u003e is a welcome opportunity to hear his influential voice again.","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51862437986647,"sku":"9780140589184","price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/overtime-selected-poems-penguin-poets-9780140589184","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
