If "beat generation" authors such as Kerouac, Ginsberg and Ferlinghetti are on your syllabus, then get your students "on the road" to this site. Although the site is definitely "unofficial," it presents some great information with poetic passion! Especially fascinating is the section entitled "Beat Connections in Rock Music." The site also presents interesting links to other "out of the main stream" artists such as William Blake and the Pre-Raphaelites.
