Coffee With Jeff #169: The Beats and the Beatniks

27 minutes

Shortly after world war two, three men got together and changed the literary world forever. They were a group of writers and free thinkers who rejected conventional society and the taboo of the day. They believed in writing without censorship. It began with Allen Ginsberg, William S. Burroughs and Jack Kerouac.

Today I have part one of the Beat Movement and the Beatniks.
