Philip Whalen Books in Order (12 Books)

Philip Glenn Whalen was an American poet who was born on October 20, 1923, in Portland, Oregon, and died on June 26, 2002, in San Francisco, California. He emerged from the Beat movement of the mid-20th century and was known for his wry and innovative poetry. Whalen served in the U.S. Army from 1943 to 1946 and attended Reed College, Portland, before joining the West Coast’s nascent Beat movement. Like other Beats, he was contemptuous of structured, academic writing and was interested in Asian religions, personal freedom, and literary experimentation. Unlike typical Beat poetry, however, Whalen’s work was often apolitical, whimsical, and steeped in the quotidian. He published several books, including Like I Say and Memoirs of an Interglacial Age in 1960, and Every Day in 1965. Whalen was also a Zen Buddhist priest and a calligrapher.
