He became friends with \u003cb\u003eAllen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac\u003c\/b\u003e, and \u003cb\u003eMichael McClure\u003c\/b\u003e, and played a key role in the explosive poetic revolution of the '50s and '60s. Celebrated for his wisdom and good humor, Whalen transformed the poem for a generation. His writing, taken as a whole, forms a monumental stream of consciousness (or, as Whalen calls it, \"continuous nerve movie\") of a wild, deeply read, and fiercely independent American--one who refuses to belong, who celebrates and glorifies the small beauties to be found everywhere he looks. This long-awaited \u003cb\u003eSelected Poems\u003c\/b\u003e is a welcome opportunity to hear his influential voice again.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51376671686879,"sku":"9780140589184","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/2DoVk5tlNE9780140589184.webp?v=1789221654"}],"url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/collections\/philip-whalen.oembed","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
