Synopsis

This collection is an intimate chronicle of one American life. Yet, it reflects the rapidly changing and endlessly varied American experience itself during the latter half of the 20th Century. Searching to understand himself and his times, George Arthur Lareau plunges into the waters of art, mysticism, business and love, documenting his experience in poetic form. Lareau is probably the last surviving Boston beatnink poet. His poetry readings were popular in Boston beatnik coffee houses. He gave readings at Harvard University and at his alma mater McKendree University, among other venues.
