In the summer of 1977, Allen Ginsberg (“Howl“) taught a summer course at Naropa Institute. The class was called “Literary History of the Beat Generation.” It has been posted to the Internet under the title “Celestial Homework.” As I read through the suggested texts, every other one makes me smile in appreciation, recognition or both. Andrew Marvell, T.S. Eliot, Jack Kerouac, William Butler Yeats, and on and on.
This just might become my reading list for Summer 2004.
