Philip Whalen played a key role in the explosive poetic revolution of the fifties and sixties, and, like his college roommate Gary Snyderm took both poetry and zen seriously. An original troubadour and thinker-- confidant and ally to Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, and Michael McClure-- he is celebrated for his wisdom, honesty, daring, and good humor.
