This week, we focus on Beat poet and visionary, Jack Kerouac. We explore Kerouac's development from Columbia University student to Allen Ginsberg's best friend, a relationship that would birth a new form of poetry and prose, akin to jazz of the written word. "Live, Travel, Adventure," Kerouac writes, "And don't be sorry."
