{"product_id":"9781101177112","title":"Overtime: Selected Poems","description":"Like his college roommate Gary Snyder, \u003cb\u003ePhilip Whalen\u003c\/b\u003e took both poetry and Zen seriously. He became friends with \u003cb\u003eAllen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac\u003c\/b\u003e, and \u003cb\u003eMichael McClure\u003c\/b\u003e, and played a key role in the explosive poetic revolution of the '50s and '60s. Celebrated for his wisdom and good humor, Whalen transformed the poem for a generation. His writing, taken as a whole, forms a monumental stream of consciousness (or, as Whalen calls it, \"continuous nerve movie\") of a wild, deeply read, and fiercely independent American—one who refuses to belong, who celebrates and glorifies the small beauties to be found everywhere he looks. This long-awaited \u003cb\u003eSelected Poems\u003c\/b\u003e is a welcome opportunity to hear his influential voice again.","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47072751550704,"sku":"9781101177112","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781101177112_p0.jpg?v=1763685756","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781101177112","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
