Each week, Journal Star staffers will share what we're listening to,
reading, eating, watching, wearing or otherwise generally loving
right now. These are real, actual ravings, not paid content.

"Beat Atlas: A State by State Guide to the Beat Generation in
America" by Bill Morgan, Allen Ginsberg and Nancy Peters. A decade
ago, Beat Generation chronicler Morgan created a walking tour guide
to Jack Kerouac's New York City. A couple of years later he did the
same for San Francisco, tracking the haunts of Kerouac, Ginsberg,
Neal Cassady and their associates. With this new guide, Morgan has
gone national, listing where the Beats lived, worked and traveled.
That they managed to hit all the 48 contiguous states is no surprise,
but some of the places are. Lincoln makes the list for Ginsberg's
1960s poetry reading visit, and Omaha, Grand Island and North Platte
were all part of Kerouac's cross-country journeys recorded in "On The
Road." For Beat aficionados, it's fascinating and fun.
