Link to Beat Poetry on Ron Silliman's blog
http://ronsilliman.blogspot.ca/search/label/Beat%20Poetry
This type of poetry was created back during the 1950's, when people wanted to share their thoughts on the isolation or alienation of the standards of society of that time. So writers would rebel with beat poetry with this type of new style. The vocabulary was taken from the jazz musicians because of their hip and urban style. On Silliman's post, he put up books, films, documentaries and much more to elaborate more on the beat poetry topic.
I also did "Beat Poetry." I feel that your comment about beat poetry better explains how beat poetry taken from several other forms of entertainment/ musical literature. It also provides the reader with a little insight on what the "background," of beat poetry may be or how it might sound like since some of it's roots were from jazz, hip, and urban styles.
