The Awakener by Helen Weaver. Published by City Lights Publishers
“Helen Weaver’s book was a revelation to me! Although I was a young woman in the fifties, I was there, but I wasn’t there! This is the most graphic, honest, shameless, and moving documentary of what the newly liberated women in cities got up to—how they lived, loved, and created. Who knew? It is time they did! And here’s how.” - Carolyn Cassady

“I woke up as the sun was reddening; and that was the one distinct time in my life, the strangest moment of all, when I didn’t know who I was — I was far away from home, haunted and tired with travel, in a cheap hotel room I’d never seen, hearing the hiss of steam outside, and the creak of the old wood of the hotel, and footsteps upstairs, and all the sad sounds, and I looked at the cracked high ceiling and really didn’t know who I was for about fifteen strange seconds.”

As I grew older I became a drunk. Why? Because I like ecstasy of the mind. I’m a wretch. But I love, love.

believe in the holy contour of life

We turned at a dozen paces, for love is a duel, and looked at each other for the last time.

My fault, my failure, is not in the passions I have, but in my lack of control of them.

Beatniks consider themselves out of this world, but this new crop of Bohemians has gained national prominence, and even attained the status of a tourist attraction.  Many a visitor to New York would rather see a real-life beatnik than the Statue of Liberty. –Original caption, circa 1959.
