520    "The Beat Movement was and is a literary and arts movement,
       the most radical and innovative of the 20th century, and 
       because it was so open to new ideas of poetics and 
       aesthetics, it has adapted from decade to decade. The 
       history of the Beat Movement is still being written in the
       early years of the 21st century. Unlike other kinds of 
       literary and artistic the Beat Movement is self-
       perpetuating. After the 1950s generation, a new generation
       arose in the 1960s led by writers such as Diane Wakowski, 
       Anne Waldman, and poets from the East Side Scene. In the 
       1970s and 1980s writers from the Poetry Project at St. 
       Mark's Church and contributors to World magazine continued
       the movement. The 1980s and 1990s Language Movement saw 
       itself as an outgrowth and progression of previous Beat 
       aesthetics. Today poets and writers in San Francisco still
       gather at City Lights Bookstore and in Boulder at the Jack
       Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics and continue the 
       movement. It is now a postmodern movement and probably 
       would be unrecognizable to the earliest Beats. It may even
       be in the process of finally shedding the name Beat. But 
       the Movement continues. The Historical Dictionary of the 
       Beat Movement covers the movements history through a 
       chronology, an introductory essay, and an extensive 
       bibliography. The dictionary section has over 700 cross-
       referenced entries on significant people, themes, critical
       issues, and the most significant novels, poems, and 
       volumes of poetry and prose that have formed the Beat 
       canon. This book is a vital reference tool for any 
       researcher interested in learning more about the Beat 
       Movement"--Provided by publisher.
