An interesting collection of poems from Kerouac covering a ten year period that shows the various periods of his life through travel and differing inspirations. Kerouac was also a traveler, so this collection comes from various places throughout those years, wherever he happened to be at the time.
The topics covered include God, Buddha, the blues, wine, drugs, Beat friends, and thoughts of the moment. Kerouac's style is very in the moment, often not even letting spelling and punctuation get in the way of the thought trying to reach the page.
He remains such a powerful influence, and this book is an excellent collection of his work.

Love this little book
poem
Old hornet me
would woo thee
fair, soft Sara
of the flowers;
But bee's not kind
That seeks to find,
peers too deep
shares no sleep;
And anyway'
who woos bees
What is there not to love in just this small example,this book is
part of my life.It makes me smile,makes me feel,it just makes me ?
