Beat Poetry

Jeff was a prolific poet and we are in the process of collating these works to be incorporated into a definitive collection of these works. Over the years he self-published his poetry in various formats – some of these books also included his artwork. A lot of his painting, collages, films and sketchbooks included a lot of his poetry too. There’s a suggestion he actually collaborated with William Burroughs – he was certainly friends with and collaborated with several poets of that era including Piero Heliczer and Jas H Duke. Just a few examples in the images below.
