Скачать или смотреть Alta's Celebration of Beat Generation Poet Lew Welch at City Lights

What happened to Beat generation poet Lew Welch, and what can we learn about him from the extraordinary body of work he left behind? Journalist Brad Rassler spent months researching Welch’s life and death for Alta Journal. "I Went Southwest," featured in Alta’s Issue 32 as a pullout folio, chronicles Welch’s poetry and disappearance, those who knew him and studied from him, and Rassler’s own journey to better understand a beloved poet. We invite you to join us for an evening in City Light’s Kerouac Alley for an interview with Rassler and readings of some of Welch’s poetry by Kai Snyder, Judy Halebsky, Peter Coyote, and Patrick James Dunagan.
