Literary Kicks
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Founded in 1994 by Levi Asher, Literary Kicks is a website that functions as a digital library of poetry and prose, biography and cultural criticism. The theme is the Beat Generation, from Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsburg, William S. Burroughs and all their friends and associates through to current writings of extant Beat genre and milieu.
Since 1996 Literary Kicks has hosted poetry readings in New York City.
In 1998, LitKicks Publishing, was created. The first LitKicks publication was a digital video, named Notes From Underground, a reference to the Fyodor Dostoevsky story of the same name. The LitKicks website hosts literary discussions, boards and lists, and a digital library of articles on various subjects including the Beat Generation, Transcendental America, the Summer of Love and others.
