BEAT, A First-Hand Account of the Latter Days of the Beat Generation by Poet Andy Clausen. This insightful and soulful memoir includes over 40 of my illustrations many of which were sketched live as “The Beats” read and performed their works capturing their features, mood and essence. Pictured here are 3 of the 4 poets featured on the cover. Back cover illustration of Andy Clausen sketched in Ward, Colorado.
