Here's a Beat Poet aside you might find of interest since you live in Boulder.

I met singer/songwriter Wendy Woo in 2001. The first project I did for her was to write a bio for her website. As I was doing research, I discovered that her parents, Jane and Bataan Faigao, were very close to all the Beats who came to Naropa to teach.

Jane and Bataan were among the founding faculty members of Naropa. When the school decided to do a conference celebrating the 25th anniversary of “On the Road,” Jane Faigao was the organizer.

Here's a link to a poster from that event.

After that, the Faigao home become something of a Beat Poet salon and Wendy grew up in that environment.

Here is a poem by Ginsberg about Bataan.
