In 1952 and 1953 as he wandered around America, Jack Kerouac
jotted down spontaneous prose poems, or "sketches" as he called
them, on small notebooks that he kept in his shirt pockets. The
poems recount his travels--New York, North Carolina, Lowell
(Massachusetts, Kerouac's birthplace), San Francisco, Denver,
Kansas, Mexico--observations, and meditations on art and life. The
poems are often strung together so that over the course of several
of them, a little story--or travelogue--appears, complete in
itself. Published for the first time, Book of Sketches offers a
luminous, intimate, and transcendental glimpse of one of the most
original voices of the twentieth century at a key time in his
literary and spiritual development.
