Journal of Beat Studies Volume 12

The Journal of Beat Studies is devoted entirely to the scholarly criticism of Beat Generation writing and writers. Its mandate is to provide readers with intelligent and penetrating criticism across the range of Beat writing, including fiction, poetry, drama, autobiography, life writing, travel writing, and screenplay writing. This volume features the essay “From 91 Revere Street to 9 Lupine Road: Robert Lowell, Jack Kerouac, and Confessional Poetry,” and interviews that remember and celebrate the life of poet and activist Hettie Jones (1934–2024).
