Beat Poetry, Broadsides, and Little MagazinesWhen you think of the beats, the first state that comes to mind is most likely not Utah. However, the Utah State University Libraries have crafted an elegant and wonderful collection of documents, broadsheets, handouts, and posters that were crafted as part of this social and cultural movement of the 1950s and 1960s. This particular collection is part of a series of gifts purchased by the Marie Eccles Caine Foundation and covered topics include environmental consciousness, civil rights, fee speech, and the anti-war movement. Here, visitors will find nineteen different items, including "Dancing Comes the Hump-backed Flute Player" and "Revolt of the Ashcans."
