Beatdom

Beatdom is a literary journal inspired by the Beat Generation. We publish essays about the Beats, as well as short fiction and poetry inspired by their work. If that sounds a little limiting to you, fear not. We take "Beat" to mean a wide range of things.

I very soon realized that nobody was shocked by anything…unless you’re out murdering people, ya know…That people would never really be shocked by an expression of feeling.
