About this event
Get swept away by the rebellious spirit and spiritual quests of the Beat Generation, featuring influential figures such as Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, and William S. Burroughs.
As we celebrate the 100th anniversary of Allen Ginsberg’s birth in 2026, this engaging lecture explores his lasting influence on poetry, literature, and the counterculture movement. Journey through the 1950s and 1960s to discover the Beats’ experimental writing styles, fascination with Eastern philosophies, and their role in challenging conventional social norms.
From legendary road trips and poetry readings to the creative scenes of San Francisco and New York City, explore the people, places, and ideas that defined this transformative generation—and the lasting impact the Beats had on American literature and popular culture.
