THE DAILY BEAT: Invitation to write a guest post

Invitation to write a guest post

I guess I'm putting this out there to put some "public" pressure on myself. It's like when I was writing The Beat Handbook and telling everyone about it. It made it less likely I would abandon the project. Same with my doctorate. Peer pressure is a powerful force.

Recently I received a gracious invitation to write a guest post for Words Are My Power, and I agreed to do it. I won't give away the topic(s), but stay tuned and I'll make sure to alert you when my post gets published. In the meantime, I hope you'll pay the site a visit.

I like its subtitle: Raw. Honest. Authentic.

Opportunities come wrapped in what looks like work.

Reviews of The Beat Handbook

Gerald Nicosia, author of the acclaimed Kerouac biography Memory Babe, said The Beat Handbook is "full of Jack's heart."

Jared Randall, author of the excellent book of poetry, Apocryphal Road Code, said this about The Beat Handbook: "Sometimes a book comes along at just the right time. In my wandering pack of experiences, I find they often do. Enter The Beat Handbook by Rick Dale."

Kenneth Morris, Kerouacian extraordinaire, said this:
"I just finished reading Rick Dale's beautiful utterance and call to action of Kerouac mind-set and zen sensibilities. It made me laugh and reflect on my own life and road I have naturally grooved into after absorbing the Kerouac canon. The road less traveled always had my name on it. And that has made all the difference. The Beat Handbook 100 Days of Kerouactions reaffirms the attitudes and ideology that made the Beats and Kerouac the important men of ideas that America (and the world) thirsted for, needed, and swallowed whole. Beautiful, absorbing, Top Ten whipsmart from my articulate, tender-hearted friend and fellow traveler. Highly recommended."
