From one of the Beat movement's most accomplished writer's comes a witty, sexy autobiography and feminist epic poem. Long regarded as an underground classic for its gritty and unabashedly erotic portrayal of the Beat years, MEMOIRS OF A BEATNIK is a moving account of a powerful woman artist in a movement dominated by a small confederacy of men, many of whom she lived with and loved.

Last Gasp is proud to bring back this early Beat classic. Her poetic portrayal of lowlife bohemians and revolutionary mentalities shatter the conservative myths of the fifties and lay bare the emerging sexual experimentation that would shape the sixties. Dinners and Nightmares was originally published in 1961 by Corinth Books and quickly garnered critical acclaim. This new edition features an additional section of poems and prose pieces from the same period, never before published in book form.

Loba is a visionary epic quest for the reintegration of the femimine, hailed by many as the great female counterpart to Allen Ginsberg's Howl when the first half appeared in 1978. Now published for the first time in its completed form with new material, Loba, "she-wolf" in Spanish explores the wilderness at the heart of experience, through the archetype of the wolf goddess, elemental symbol of complete self-acceptance.

This book has the ambition to stage a multi-phased resistance to the power that images exert in the contemporary world, and, at the same time, to offer something like the keys to the transformation of that power. Peter Lamborn Wilson
