Southern Illinois University Press. InquiryBook Description
Examining "the moment" as one of the primary motifs of Beat writing, Erik Mortenson offers the first book to investigate immediacy and its presence and importance in Beat writing. Capturing the Beat Moment: Cultural Politics and the Poetics of Presence places an expanded canon of Beat writers in an early postmodern context that highlights the importance in American poetics and provides an account of Beat practices that reveal how gender and race affect Beat politics of the moment.
