'Beat' Poets. Selected by G. Baro | 
I picked up this nifty little 1965 anthology of Beat Poets for a quid today at a Cub Scout jumble sale.
The introduction says that the 'Beat' name comes from the meaning weary, worn out or raw. And here was me thinking it came from the rhythmic beat of the poetry! I think I watched too many musicals showing Parisian beat poetry clubs with turtle-necked serious young men smoking Gauloise and clicking their fingers 😄
The_Book_Ninja I always think of Tony Hancock in The Rebel when I hear the term beat 2y
Bookwomble @The_Book_Ninja I vaguely know the film, but I've never quite taken to Tony Hancock. That's the one where he's making a sculpture in his bedsit, is it?🗿 2y
The_Book_Ninja @Bookwomble yeah, Aphrodite at the Waterhole😂 2y
