Photographs of Beat poets

Collection consists of eighteen portraitures of Beat Generation personalities taken by the photographer Christopher Felver. Each of the eighteen photographs is a silver gelatin print, varying in size. These portraits, taken between the years 1980 and 2001, document the Beats in their later years. While some of the portraits are posed, many of the images are candid shots. Oft times, the subjects are featured in locations infused with Beat mythology--for example, City Lights Bookstore in San Francisco, Calif. Subjects highlighted in this collection include: Charles and Linda Bukowski, William S. Burroughs, Carolyn Cassady, Gregory Corso, Agneta Falk, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Allen Ginsberg, Jack Hirschman, Ted Joans, Bob Kaufman, Jan Kerouac, Ken Kesey and Peter Orlovsky.
