Pomes All SizesAuthor(s): Jack Kerouac\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: City Lights Books, United States\nImprint: City Lights Books\nISBN-13: 9780872862692, 978-0872862692\nSynopsis\nThe original manuscript of this book, written between 1954 and 1965, has been in the safekeeping of City Lights all the years since Kerouac's death in 1969. Reaching beyond the scope of his Mexico City Blues, here are pomes about Mexico and Tangier, Berkeley and the Bowery. Mid-fifties road poems, hymns and songs of God, drug poems, wine poems, dharma poems and Buddhist meditations. Poems to Beat friends, goofball poems, quirky haiku, and a fine, long elegy in \""Canuckian Child Patoi Probably Medieval ...an English blues.\"" But more than a quarter of a century after it was written, Pomes of All Sizes today would seem to be more than a sum of it parts, revealing a questing Kerouac grown beyond the popular image of himself as a Beat on the Road. \""Here is a treasure, in the mainstream of American Literatur.
