"There weren't too many beatniks in Liverpool in 1960, which made the arrival
of Royston Ellis something of an event."

"A British-born poet, novelist, and travel author, Ellis was born in Pinner, England.
He dropped out of school in 1957, bummed around Soho and the jazz club scene, all the time writing poetry"

Royston Ellis wrote a series of poems around this time that have a distinctly Beatnik flavour including the attractive looking booklet 'Rave' (1960.)
