Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 10-Dec-59 Title A name given to the resource Albert Saijo Description An account of the resource Born Los Angeles, California The poet Albert Saijo was one of only two Asian American writers associated with the Beat movement. Of Japanese American descent, Saijo and his family were incarcerated during World War II at the Heart Mountain Relocation Center. While there, he enlisted in the U.S. Army and served in Italy with the famous ‚ÄúNisei‚Äù battalion. Afterward, Saijo worked on collaborative and performative projects with fellow writers in northern California‚Äôs loosely knit Beat community. In 1959, Saijo joined the writers Jack Kerouac and Lew Welch on an impromptu, cross-country road trip from San Francisco to New York City. The freewheeling trio careened across the country by jeep before reaching Greenwich Village. They made the rounds of that bohemian enclave, visiting Allen Ginsberg and hanging out at the Cedar Bar. The Village Voice photojournalist Fred W. McDarrah included this image from the famous trip in his 1960 book, The Beat Scene.
