Scott Hutton (Mechanical Engineer) on Jack Kerouac – “To some degree he was to literature what the New York School was to the Art World. His was the next artistically forward poetic work, since James Joyce‘s writing, for example.”
A poem of Jack‘s worth sharing is Hitchhiker. The verse:
Tryna get to sunny Californy’ -
Boom. It’s the awful raincoat
making me look like a selfdefeated self-murdering imaginary gangster, an idiot in a rueful coat, how can they understand my damp packs – my mud packs -
Look John, a hitchhiker’
He looks like he’s got a gun underneath that I. R. A. coat’
‘Look Fred, that man by the road’ „Some sexfiend got in print in 1938 in Sex Magazine’ –
You found his blue corpse in a greenshade edition, with axe blots’
