NOW IT'S JAZZ: WRITINGS ON KEROUAC & THE SOUNDS by Clark Coolidge

Living Batch Press, 1999, First edition, 136 pp., 5 1/2" X 8 1/2", Softcover

As new (still in publisher's shrink wrap)

Perhaps no living American poet has taken Kerouac, jazz and bop prosody into as many original directions as Clark Coolidge. In his inimitable prose, Coolidge recalls and explores the roles that Kerouac and jazz have played in his artistic development. 

"Simultaneously criticism and poetry, this is writing that returns the reader to the utter originality of Kerouac's improvisations"
