Founded in 1974 by Allen Ginsberg, Anne Waldman, Gregory Corso, Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, and many other well known poets, artists, and intellectuals, the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics at Naropa University remains a unique haven for writers and spiritual seekers.

It includes interviews with students and faculty members interspersed with archival audio material and footage from a documentary made about Naropa in 1978 entitled "Fried Shoes, Cooked Diamonds."
