Beat Scene 40 -- Bukowski, Ken Kesey, Michael McClure, City Lights Books, Neal Cassady, John Cellon Holmes

Kevin Ring’s Beat Scene magazine is a treasure for Bukowski and Beat fans alike. I’m in the “never the twain shall meet” camp, but in this case the exception is deserved. Plus, Kevin’s a good guy who put a lot of work and high production value into each issue of the magazine. For Bukowski fans, there is a review of The Night Torn Mad with Footsteps and the CD Solid Citizen.
