A collection of poems and letters from the late 1950s and early 1960s. Gives a glimpse into the ramblings of Kerouac. ( ) I really enjoyed Kerouac's letters to publisher and friend Donald Allen at the end of the book. They are childlike in their sincerity and earnestness. I can connect with his rambling style of writing much easier with his letters, than with his poetry. But I really enjoyed his poems too. He has a beautiful, sporadic way with words. This is a line from the title poem, "Heaven," "The Church? Earth's dogmatic mistakes have nothing to do with Heaven." geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Donald Allen, the late great editor of theEvergreen Review at Grove Press and editor of the seminal anthologyThe New American Poetry, first met Jack Kerouac in 1956 when he and Allen Ginsberg came to visit at his West Village apartment. At the time, Allen was working on the "San Francisco Scene" issue of theEvergreen Review, and Ginsberg and Kerouac brought him manuscripts and news of developments on the West Coast. Over the next three years, Kerouac would send Allen poems for various projects, along with letters in which he discussed his poetry, his life, and the work of his young contemporaries. The unpublished poems are collected here, as are the letters, a comic strip drawn for the Cassady children, and Kerouac's self-penned poetic biography. Jack Kerouac (1922-1969) was a principal actor in the Beat Generation, a companion of Allen Ginsberg and Neal Cassady in that great adventure. His books includeOn the Road,The Dharma Bums,Mexico City Blues,Lonesome Traveler,Visions of Cody,Pomes All Sizes (City Lights),Scattered Poems (City Lights), andScripture of the Golden Eternity (City Lights).
