Aram Saroyan is a poet and author best known for his minimalist poems. His Complete Minimal Poems received the 2008 William Carlos Williams Award from the Poetry Society of America. He is featured in the documentary film One Quick Move or I’m Gone: Jack Kerouac at Big Sur and his comments appear in the oral biographies George Being George: George Plimpton’s Life and Salinger. He is the author of Still Night in L.A., Trio, and the true crime Literary Guild selection Rancho Mirage, as well as many other books of prose and poetry. He lives in Newport Beach.

“Along with a fascinating account of Aram’s journey to literary fame, the memoir paints a vivid picture of the 1950s and 1960s . . . .of growing up in a counterculture that promoted “free love” and believed in the use of drugs to expand human consciousness. Leaders of this counterculture, Allen Ginsberg, Timothy Leary, are ever-present. So are Bob Dylan, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Gloria Vanderbilt, Oona O’Neill, among others. Whether in Los Angeles, Bolinas, London or New York, Aram moves in the world surrounded with the celebrated poets, artists and movie stars of the day.” —The Mirror-Spectator“One of the last living witnesses to the age of Jack Kerouac and the road trips of postwar American performance, Saroyan offers brief essays on the lives and loves of the era. . . . A vivid recollection of an age when every day could be a dream.” —Kirkus Reviews“Aram Saroyan bullets the memoir formula the way he busted up poetics with his minimalist poems, on which, not so incidentally, he dallies in this resilient, often hilarious sketchbook of a brilliantly impudent multidisciplinary journey.” —Ellen Sander, author, Hawthorne, A House in Bolinas and Trips, Rock Life in the Sixties
