From the website: "FINDING MY KEROUAC: On the Road at Mid-Life is an audio documentary based on the spirit of Jack Kerouac's On the Road. The mostly autobiographical novel is 50 years old this year - it was published in 1957 - and has been the inspiration of road and life travelers since its debut."

Reed College: Article about an early reading and recording of Ginsber's Howl
From the introduction: "In a plain gray archival box in the basement of Reed’s Hauser Library there lies a single reel of audiotape that captures a moment in the early life of one of the anthemic poems of the 20th century. The aging brown acetate clarifies an author’s voice, hints at a spirit, adds to the myth of two poets, and tells of a part Reed College played in the early days of the Beat Generation—before it was Beat, or yet a generation." The audio can be located here.
