"Alyson Sinclair says: 'Timothy Leary, the 'straight Harvard professor,' and Allen Ginsberg, 'the world's most famous bohemian' sat down at a kitchen table in 1960 and made plans to launch a spiritual psychedelic revolution.

'Peter Conners' new book, White Hand Society: The Psychedelic Partnership of Timothy Leary and Allen Ginsberg (City Lights Publishers, Nov. 2010), is the story of how they unleashed that revolution on the world.'"

"Fluidity, experimentation, freedom, not worrying so much about what other people think, creating beauty even in ugly places (next to garbage cans in a coliseum hallway), valuing individual expression – my own and other people's – and seeing what stifling that expression can do to people, how to find joy, the importance of release, the value of repetition (you become a better dancer by dancing… and so too with writing), and the importance of being simultaneously present and completely gone when creating."

Peter Conners, author of the upcoming "White Hand Society: The Psychedelic Partnership of Timothy Leary & Allen Ginsberg," talks "about creativity, dancing, and riding the bus" with BookLife's Jeremy L.C. Jones.
