Written from 1969 to 1971, West Coast Beat poet Philip Whalen's
"Scenes of Life at the Capital" is a lasting testament to the
ambition, range, powers, and devotion of this crucially important
American voice. Positioned among the Buddhist temples of Kyoto,
Whalen looks across the ocean to address the new frontiers,
political problems, and transformative hopes of the United States
of the 1960s-so much of which still resonates today. In this new
edition-with a deep and enlightening afterword by David
Brazil-Whalen's poem is further cemented as a fundamental work in
American literary history.
