Abstract
The Beats’ unabashed championing of personal experience, located at the core of Jack Kerouac’s “Essentials of Spontaneous Prose” (1955), led to an aesthetic intimately concerned with the representation of “the unspeakable visions of the individual.”² Yet, far from “unspeakable,” Beat poets and writers frequently used their writing to particularize their personal stories. This impetus resulted in not only the candid first-person drive behind much of their poetry and fiction, but also in the profusion of first-person accounts through the use of journal, collected letters, autobiographies, and memoirs.
