GREAT BEAT WEBSITE

There IS, Virginia, one great site on the internet dedicated to the Beats--I mean, all of them, though Jack Kerouac is the point of departure. It's called "The Beat" and it features considerable extracts of the poetry, among other things: yesterday saw a welcome republishing of Gary Snyder's "I Went Into The Maverick Bar"--one of my favourites from the Snyder cannon (or is that canon?).
By the way, you can only be registered as an author with them once you have "proven awesomeness". Now that I have, I think it's a very good system.
