Mexico City Blues: Jack Kerouac

`I want to be considered a jazz poet blowing a long blues in an afternoon jam session on Sunday`

Freewheeling and spontaneous, Mexico City Blues is Jack Kerouac`s most significant and emblematic poem. Consisting of 242 loosely linked `choruses`, it takes in life, death, spirituality, jazz improvisation, memory, fantasies and dreams, all infused with the rhythm of the blues, to create a surreal and all-encompassing epic.
