POETS, REFLECTIONS & FILMS: A BEAT GENERATION HAPPENING

Chris Felver, Neeli Cherkovski, and Matthias Ruecker provide insight and discussion of this literary subculture movement started by a group of authors whose work explored and influenced American culture and politics in the post-World War II era.

Born in Santa Monica, California, Cherkovski grew up in San Bernardino, California. In the 1970s he was a political consultant in the Riverside area, who came to San Francisco to work on the staff of then-State Senator George Moscone. Cherkovski has written biographies of Lawrence Ferlinghetti, and Charles Bukowski, with whom he co-edited the Los Angeles zine Laugh Literary and Man the Humping Guns.

Cherkovski produced the first San Francisco Poetry Festival, and in the early-1990s helped to found Café Arts Month, a yearly event celebrating San Francisco's café culture.
