He became friends with \u003cb\u003eAllen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac\u003c\/b\u003e, and \u003cb\u003eMichael McClure\u003c\/b\u003e, 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 \u003cb\u003eSelected Poems\u003c\/b\u003e is a welcome opportunity to hear his influential voice again.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePhilip Whalen spent fifteen years of formal Zen training in Santa Fe and San Francisco.
