Overtime: Selected Poems by Philip Whalen
Like his college roommate Gary Snyder, Philip Whalen took both poetry and Zen seriously. He became friends with Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, and Michael McClure, and played a key role in the explosive poetic revolution of the '50s and '60s. Celebrated for his wisdom and good humor, Whalen transformed the poem for a generation. His writing, taken as a whole, forms a monumental stream of consciousness (or, as Whalen calls it, "continuous nerve movie") of a wild, deeply read, and fiercely independent American--one who refuses to belong, who celebrates and glorifies the small beauties to be found everywhere he looks. This long-awaited Selected Poems is a welcome opportunity to hear his influential voice again.Philip Whalen is a history professor at Coastal Carolina University in the United States. French Historians, 1900-2000 (2010) and Place and Locality in Modern France (Bloomsbury Academic, 2014; with Patrick Young) are two of the five volumes he has written or edited.
