A compact collection of more than 500 poems from Jack Kerouac that reveal a lesser known but important side of his literary legacy

Renowned for his groundbreaking Beat Generation novel

He incorporated his “American” haiku in novels and in his correspondence, notebooks, journals, sketchbooks, and recordings.
