Hard to Be a Saint in the City: The Spiritual Vision of the Beats | 
pickAn absolute golden introduction to the Beats, the era, the themes, approaches, word views and overall philosophical and spiritual aesthetic of the Beat movement. Organized in chapters under headings such as “The Universe Is the Messiah” or “A Warm Idea for the Cool Void” or “meditation Looks Inward, Poetry Holds Forth”, the book is completely and only a collection of quotations from the various Beat writers and thinkers. A delight to explore.
