Bob Kaufman and Beat Generation Poetry

Abstract: This 8 page paper discusses the African- American, Jewish, 'Beat Generation' poet Bob Kaufman. Critics and many of his fellow poets thought he was the most talented of the 'Beat' poets but certainly one of the least recognized and least well-known. Many critics have thought it was Kaufman that Ginsberg wrote about in 'Howl' as one of the 'best minds of my generation.' Bibliography lists 9 sources.
