   >> ***** A national group of poets who emerged from San Francisco’s literary   
   counterculture in the 1950s. Its ranks included Allen Ginsberg, Lawrence   
   Ferlinghetti, Gregory Corso, and Gary Snyder. Poet and essayist Kenneth   
   Rexroth influenced the    
   development of the “Beat” aesthetic, which rejected academic formalism and   
   the materialism and conformity of the American middle class. Beat poetry is   
   largely free verse, often surrealistic, and influenced by the cadences of   
   jazz, as well by Zen and    
   Native American spirituality. *****[/quote]
