Note that the Journal of Beat Studies is currently published once per year, but it is sent out in two mass mailings by the press, once in Spring and once in Fall. If you join the Beat Studies Association by March 1st, you will receive your copy of Journal of Beat Studies in the Spring mailing; if you join after this time, you will receive it in the Fall mailing. You must join by September 15th to receive the Fall mailing for that year; unfortunately, we cannot accommodate individual mailings after this time.
