In November 1972 as Ms. Magazine hit the newsstands with its inaugural issue, Joan Gelfand left the comforts of Forest Hills, NY and summers in the Catskills for a trip to San Francisco. That vacation became a journey that lasted a lifetime, and a moment in history that is unparalleled.
In OUTSIDE VOICES: A Memoir of the Berkeley Revolution, Joan Gelfand, award-winning author and nationally acclaimed literary citizen, shares her story of awakening-artistically, sexually, and spiritually-during a radical time in a remarkable place. Writing with honesty and lyrical grace, Joan recounts a story of healing from devastating loss while honing her craft as a poet in the midst of cataclysmic social change in which the Beat Generation was born. Joan spent some time with Mike Pomp on the Morning Information Center to discuss the new book.
