5.0 out of 5 stars The poems flow freely like a jazz chorus, like Jack intended, 15 April 1999
By A Customer
Mexico City Blues shocked and moved me. The freedom with which Kerouac takes his writing, inventing words and splattering images, envys me as an aspiring poet. I have tried to imitate his style but finally realized that only Jack can write like Jack. The poems contained on these pages are some of the greatest I have ever read and reading them is like slowly devouring an entire banquet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beat in it's purest, in a word perfect kerouac, 28 Jan 1999
By A Customer
Kerouac was a master with words and the rythm of the human voice, his words beatifully crafted are written in a way that you have to read it allowed, a book you'll want with you every where if you appreciate anything about poetry
