FTV 157 The Beats of San Francisco

This week on From the Vault we take a listen to the last great literary revolution in America by presenting the 1979 program The Beats of San Francisco. Produced in 1979 by KPFA producers Lili Francklyn and Michael Yoshida for KPFA’s 30th Anniversary, the Beats of San Francisco features rare recordings of Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Lenny Bruce, Kenneth Rexroth and many others that helped shape a generation. From the Vault producer Joanne Griffith then speaks with Beats scholar Nancy Grace, professor of English at the College of Wooster in Wooster Ohio, about the origins and the legacy of the Beat Poets.

From the Vault is presented as part of the Pacifica Radio Archives Preservation and Access Project.
