Summary: Carolyn Cassady was an artist, costume designer, writer, and critical influence on the members of the Beat Generation. Her marriage to Neal Cassady and her friendships with Jack Kerouac and other prominent members of the Beats have long overshadowed her own life and accomplishments, but with the recent publication of new manuscripts discovered after her death that is finally beginning to change. An astonishingly talented and prolific creative force, Carolyn Cassady's legacy of determination, strength, and uniquely creative work is finally being recognized as she emerges from the shadow of "the guys."<br> <br> Our guests are Cathy Cassady, eldest daughter of Carolyn and Neal Cassady and editor of Carolyn's posthumously-published book Travel Tips for the Timid, and Josette Lorig, PhD candidate at the University of Colorado Boulder.
