Two long-lost volumes from the classic Beat period. Tau is Philip
Lamantia's mystical second collection of poems, originally slated
for publication in 1955, but suppressed by the poet due to his
evolving religious beliefs. Journey to the End contains the poems
of the legendary John Hoffman (1928-1952), whose poems were read by
Lamantia in 1955 at the 6 Gallery reading where Allen Ginsberg
debuted "Howl." Lamantia's closest friend, a character in Jack
Kerouac's Dharma Bums, and the inspiration for two lines of "Howl,"
Hoffman moved between San Francisco and New York before his death
in Mexico at the age of twenty-four. This volume includes
biographical notes and Lamantia's commentaries on Hoff man's
poetry.
