This seventh collection of essays and reviews kicks off with a
survey of some overlooked British poets from the 1940s who, through
a network of little magazines with anarchist inclinations,
attempted to offer an alternative to the MacSpaunDay generation's
sensibilities. Another piece considers how British writers were
monitored by MI5 and local police forces, while a third switches
attention to the USA and looks at the still-controversial case of
Alger Hiss and his alleged role as a spy who passed information to
Russia. There are essays about lesser-known Beat-related writers
like Bob Kaufman and Brion Gysin, inspections of some little
magazines of the 1950s and 1960s, and two long reviews which
consider the effect that Dadaism had and the role played in the
movement by Tristan Tzara. Walt Whitman, Woody Guthrie, and Malcolm
Cowley also make an appearance.
