"Juju beads on the Zen Manual
My knees are cold" Jack Kerouac's Haiku
This is one of the poems that I liked and that is not saying much or is it? This book talked a little too much about death for my comfort. It is not my favorite subject, especially not the way in which he talks about it. Kerouac is the most famous of the so called "Beat" poets and truth be told, I am not impressed by them as a whole but I do enjoy the poetry of Ted Joans and Leroy Jones. In San Francisco's North Beach, their home, there is an alley named after him.
