Pocket Poets #28: Scattered Poems

by Jack Kerouac

Pocket Poets #28: Scattered Poems Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Spontaneous poetry by the author of On the Road, gathered from underground and ephemeral publications; including “San Francisco Blues,” the variant texts of “Pull My Daisy,” and American haiku.

HERE DOWN ON DARK EARTH

before we all go to Heaven

VISIONS OF AMERICA

All that hitchhikin

All that railroadin

All that comin back

to America —Jack Kerouac

Synopsis:

In spontaneous, direct, and concrete verses, the author confesses his joy in poetry and life.

Synopsis:

Poetry. Jack Kerouac does not always receive credit as one of the great American poets of the twentieth-century, but SCATTERED POEMS helps show the great range he possessed across genres. This book includes "Pull My Daisy," written with Allen Ginsberg and Neal Cassady. Some of these poems are lighthearted, while others deal with mortality, both his mother's and his own. A small classic.
