Annotation:
Rounding up the poets least likely to show up on the banks of mainstream verse, this anthology makes the case that America's most exciting and freethinking poetry is being written outside of the confines of the academy and the genteel bookstore. Some of the poets here are well-known fugitives from conformity, like Diane DiPrima, Michael McClure, and Lawrence Ferlinghetti, but others are more elusive, like Marc Smith and Jimmy Santiago Baca. Other poets come from other realms altogether: Jackson Pollock, Lenny Bruce, and Che Guevara all appear here.
