Lenore Kandel Books

Lenore Kandel was an American poet whose early work, particularly the collection "The Love Book," sparked controversy and became a symbol of free expression. Her verses, which she herself termed "holy erotica," explore the intersection of spirituality and sexuality. As a figure of the second-generation Beat movement, Kandel developed a psychedelic aesthetic, and her voice resonated at key counterculture events. Despite later health challenges limiting her public engagement, her writing endures as a testament to the pursuit of profound connection between the physical and the spiritual.
