Re-examining a relationship to the Beats as an adult definitely gives me feelings. Excited to see what you do with this and can't wait to read the new novel!

I love this and am so excited to see where this path leads you. Although I’m a decade behind you I also gravitated towards the beats and honestly Ginsberg and Gary Snyder are the only two who hold up for me. I can’t wait to see what you find. I’m also such a huge fan of research, which is good and bad.

And- sending the best best vibes that this current sub finds its deserved champion. Can’t wait to read it.

It’s not the same era, but I’d also recommend “Ninth Street Women” by Mary Gabriel. It’s nonfiction but is a pure masterclass that brings to life the women behind the abstract expressionist movement. There might be inspiration and fodder from their interplay and experience that would inform your novel.
