The Outlaw Bible of American Poetry

Brief Description: From the Beat poetry of the '50s to the spoken word of today, The Outlaw Bible of American Poetry brings readers the words, visions, and extravagant lives of bohemians, beatniks, hippies, punks, and slackers. Like Donald Allen's epochal New American Poetry, The Outlaw Bible will serve as a primer for generational revolt and poetic expression, and is an enduring document of the visionary tradition of authenticity and nonconformity in literature. This exuberant manifesto includes lives of the poets, on-the-scene testimony, seminal underground articles never before collected, photographs of clubs and cafes, interviews, and, above all, the poems. Biographical Note: Alan Kaufman is the editor-in-chief of Davka: Jewish Cultural Revolution. His books include The New Generation: Fiction for Our Time from America's Writing Programs. He lives in San Francisco. Marc Notes: Words, visions & extravagant lives of bohemians, beatniks, hippies, punks & slackers; An enduring document of authenticity & nonconformity. Review Citations:

Contributor Bio:  Kaufman, Alan Alan Kaufman ist in der Bronx, NY aufgewachsen und lebt heute in San Francisco. In den Neunzigerjahren entstand in den USA eine neue literarische Bewegung: Fast uber Nacht traten Spoken Word Poeten im ganzen Land an die Offentlichkeit. Begabte Autoren aus jenen Bevolkerungsschichten (Afro-Amerikaner, Obdachlose, Latinos, Juden, Asiaten, arbeitslose Weisse), die von der Harte der Reagan/Bush-Ara vor allem betroffen waren, artikulierten sich mit politisch engagierten Texten. In Lesungen und Auftritten im ganzen Land, in Underground-Auditorien, wie dem Wordland in San Francisco, der Green Mill Tavern in Chascago oder dem Nuyorican Poets Cafe in New York City berichtete diese neue Dichtergeneration von der Brutalitat und Harte des Uberlebenskampfes im Land der unbegrenzten Moglichkeiten. Ihre Botschaften wurden zum inoffiziellen Nachrichtendienst, zum CNN des Undergrounds, wie Alan Kaufman es einmal beschrieb. Werke von Alan Kaufman in englischer Sprache: Matches, a novel Drunken Angel, a memoir Jew Boy, a memoir Who Are We?, poems Straightjacket Elegies, poems The Outlaw Bible of American Poetry, an anthology The Outlaw Bible of American Literature, an anthology The Outlaw Bible of American Essays, an anthology The New Generation, an anthology In der Edition BAES ist 2013 der Gedichtband Zwangsjackenelegien in der Ubersetzung von Jurgen Schneider erschienen.
