Alan Kaufman's 'The Outlaw Bible of American Poetry' hits most of the important movements: The Beats are amply represented with Allen Ginsberg, Neal Cassady, Jack Kerouac, Amiri Baraka (aka Leroi Jones), Gregory Corso, Diane DiPrima, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Gary Snyder, Herbert Hunke, et al. Richard Brautigan, Ted Berk, and John Bennet are part of the hippie contingent. The Spoken Word movement and Slams are covered by Marc Smith, Ken DiMaggio, Sini Anderson, Justin Chin, Reg E. Gains, Lisa Martinovic, and many others. A few queers and sex radicals are here, including Bob Flanagan, Gerry Gomez Pearlberg, and David Wojnarowicz. Other poets are from movements and groups that include the New York School, the Unbearables, the Barbarians, the Meat Poets, and the Carma Bums. Further notables include Jim Carroll, Wanda Coleman, Karen Finley, Ishmael Reed, Sapphire, Hunter S. Thompson, David Trinidad, and Anne Waldman.
