| Notes | "Beat Zen, Square Zen, and Zen first appeared in the Chicago Review for the Summer of 1958, and was later issued as a Pamphlet by City Lights Books in San Fransisco, to which certain additions were made, because this seemed to be a good context in which to discuss the influence of Zen on Western art, and because the original was published before the appearance of Kerouac's Dharma Bums. The present edition contains some further additions and amendments." |
