Editor's Note
The goal of this online zine is to both inform readers who never had a chance to study The Beats Movement in depth as well as participate in a scholarly analysis of Beat poetry and literature. I will do this by providing background information regarding the major leaders of the intellectual and social movement and then take a closer look at the style and significance of their work. Specifically I will analyze the effect it had on music, the youth movement and dress trends during the 1950s and '60s. In conclusion, I will take a step back and look at the broader legacy left by The Beat Movement; the values that they held and their impact on the social values of society
