Written in a frantic blur of inspiration over the first two months of 2015, this collection of contemporary neo-beat poetry is a passionately delivered, in your face dose of pop prose for the digital, conspiratorial, twenty first century world. Political poems like Kissinger Can Kiss My Ass and Frack Off ride alongside conspiracy themed odes like Illuminate Me Illuminati and Fly Your False Flags. There are beat homages (Cider With Snyder, The New Beat Newbies), mystical musings (Bye Bye Bao Bao, Mystic Prison), poems mimicking and mocking the modern age (#Smiley Face, Googling Goo), as well as tales of timeless hedonism (Legless Pub Crawls, Malbec Green Bottle Neck). Both comic and tragic, angry and compassionate, this collection of new poems is ultimately Whitewolf's howling for a peaceful revolution. Beginning with rhythmic baby new beats.

About the Author Harry Whitewolf has always lived in two worlds. In the real world, he's a writer and a traveller - with a background in visual art, performance poetry and workshop tuition. In the ethereal world, he's a spiritual warrior. He lives life by following signs, following dreams and following his heart. But he's not ashamed of admitting that he often screws it all up. His writing has a distinctive style all of its own, but its beat driven prose is certainly inspired by those tea toking cheap trick beatnik geniuses of bygone bebop days. Harry, contrary to popular belief, is actually just a bloke and not of a canine species. He was born in 1976 and lives in England. He hopes to see world peace in his lifetime, and yes, he believes miracles are possible Search and you will find Harry Whitewolf, his books, his blog, his updates and more at www.goodreads.com

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. New Beat For a New Generation By Jym Cherry Harry Whitewolf’s “New Beat Newbie” is a throwback (in a good way) to Jack Kerouac’s “Mexico City Blues”. Whitewolf has a facility with words, playing with them and their sounds until the meanings twist and you get a bit of a surprise at what the ideas have morphed into.Whitewolf’s neo-Beat tendencies don’t mean the writing is imitative, only in the context that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. His poems aren’t dry homages about an age gone by, but these poems *POP* and hum with electricity off the page, just as the original Beats’ poems did when they were new. Whitewolf turns his eye to the modern world with poems titled “#Smiley Face,” or about fracking. Just when you think the rhyming and word-play is all effect, Whitewolf throws in a that points out a truth and/or will stop to make you think. One of my favorites was “where past and present co-existed, before there were linear lies”.There is also homages to his poetic predecessors Kerouac in “Ride Along With Sal” and Allen Ginsberg copying some of his rhythms but taking it in his own direction. For those who are Beat or neo-Beat, even if you aren’t, Whitewolf’s style lends itself to your reading and interpretation. You may even see the world a little differently when you’re done.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. start kicking your drums" What an amazing line! I am still quite new to poetry ... By J. D. Denness "Slackers, backpackers, beatniks and Bums.The new beat is coming, start kicking your drums"What an amazing line!I am still quite new to poetry and the more I read the more I realise what I have missed out on, I blame the school I went to where I was forced to write a poem during a lesson, with no inspiration and on a topic set by the teacher, and then I had to stand up and read it in front of a class of idioms. I am now past that and loving poetry.I have only read a few bits of poetry by the Beats and New Beat Newbie transports you to a dark, seedy bar, full of smoke while somebody on a small stage throws out these words sounding like Jazz.New Neat Newbie is like a call to arms for all those angered by the greedy and powerful and who feel powerless to fight back. "Then I will vote" had me agreeing with every line. You can feel the anger in "Fly your false flags" and "Beat Elite" is really hard hitting with all its short lines.So glad I read this and it would be amazing to see Harry Whitewolf performing his work live.
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Hamburger, nothing! By Mike Robbins Sometime in the early 1980s I went to a pub gig in Fulham. The band were a protest group. Halfway through one number, the vocalist put his mike close to his mouth and yelled: “Hamburger, nothing!” I soon forget all the pious, well-argued lectures I hear about the evils of fast food corporations, however true they are. But I remember that “Hamburger, nothing!” like it was yesterday.It came to mind again as I read Harry Whitewolf’s verse collection New Beat Newbie. They’re the work of a man doing his own thing, so if you’re obsessed with the correct use of iambic pentameters, forget it. Neither are these poems to be studied or pored over. They’re best if you recite them inside your head, both finding the rhythm and enjoying his idiosyncratic use of language, without asking too many questions. Then they have real force and freshness.Whitewolf identifies with the Beat poets, and pays tribute to them in several of these pieces, notably Cider With Snyder (I wanna drink cider with Snyder/and piggy-back on Kerouac/I wanna ride on gin icebergs with Ginsberg). I can see why he does this, but I think it would be wrong to identify him too much with the Beats. He’s out there with his own very spontaneous style. And there’s an angry directness to some of these poems that owes more to the robust political culture of the British left. One of the angriest poems is the unambiguous Frack Off:Fracking, fracking, fracking.F***ing, fecking fracking.Shattering the earth. Damaging. Crack crack cracking.More subtly, Whitewolf takes on modern social norms, as in the online culture in The Invasion of Web Into Head’s Web. And in one of my favourites, We Love The Famous:We love the famous. The plastic pretties.Airbrushed arses. Fantastic titties.Hunks and comics to entertain us.Make no mistake, we love the famous.Other poems, though, are gentler. In the e-reader era, there’s a charming lament for the old fashioned book, with its stains and blemishes and personal messages on flyleaves, written by people long dead. As I love to buy, and read, forgotten books, this resonated with me. But the best poem in this collection, I think, was Ragmen, which is almost the perfect length and shape, beginning:Spit and swear with BaudelaireIn a hoo-ha boudoir odour’d lair.Join the ugly f***ing fracas.Praise the hedonists of Bacchus.Harry Whitewolf’s an original. Moreover this is a substantial collection. Poetry books can be somewhat brief and can leave you unsatisfied, but there are 37 poems in this book – some quite short, to be sure, but others longer. There’s plenty to enjoy here.As I said at the beginning, you don’t want to over-analyse these pieces. If you do, you’ll lose what makes them fly. They’re best enjoyed out loud or in a voice in your head, picking up the inventive use of language, the rhythms – and, yes, the beat. Do that, and these poems are like a big 660ml bottle of ice-cold lager on a summer’s day – the condensation running down the glass in rivulets as you savour the sharp, refreshing taste.Hamburger, nothing! Have a beer instead.
