"Le meilleur moment de la journée était celui où je me glissais dans mon lit et où je lisais à la lumière de la lampe de chevet face aux fenêtres ouvertes du patio, aux étoiles et à la mer que j'entendais soupirer."

Jack #Kerouac évoque ici son séjour à Tanger dans "Les anges vagabonds" (1965).

RIP to the #Kerouac mug that somehow lasted 30 years.

“Detached is still. Cool is still. It is introverted.

“Cool is not charisma, which is active and extroverted. The charismatic person reaches out, takes hold, in the need to draw others in. Charisma feeds on the other.

“Cool people may become “hot,” but their heat emanates from the desire of others reaching toward them. Cool feels consumed by others.”

Les pattes mouillées du moineau
#citation #haïku #Kerouac #moineau #oiseau #pluie #poésie #Shiki

Le moineau sautille sur la terrasse.
Il a les pattes mouillées.

« C'est un poème de Shiki. On voit les traces des petites pattes mouillées avec les yeux de l'imagination. Et cependant, dans ces quelques mots, il y a aussi la pluie qui est tombée ce jour-là. On sent presque le parfum des aiguilles de pain humides. »
– Jack Kerouac, Les clochards célestes, Gallimard, 1963, p. 95

“A wave of loneliness passes over me, remembering past loves and bodies in beds and the unbeatable surge when you go into your beloved deep and the whole world goes with you […]”

“And only last year she’d stood in my room and said ‘A friend is better than pesos, a friend that geev it to you in the bed’ when still she believed anyway we’d get our tortured bellies together and get rid of some of the pain—Now too late, too late—“

Jack Kerouac, Tristessa, 1960

I sogni, le paure e la voglia di evasione dei ragazzi della “gioventù bruciata”

Kerouac e la Beat Generation

Parlare di Kerouac significa parlare di un revival estetico, di un nuovo stile di vita, di un modello alternativo agli standard della vita sedentaria, quasi un ritorno al nomadismo1. Però se si parla di Kerouac e de

“I have sworn off lust with women,—sworn off lust for lust’s sake,—sworn off sexuality and the inhibiting impulse—I want to enter the Holy Stream and be safe on my way to the other shore, but would as lief leave a kiss to Tristessa for her hark of my heart’s sake.”

Jack Kerouac, Tristessa, 1960.

Poetry For The Beat Generation
2023 U.S. Ltd. Edition reissue
Milky Clear vinyl

What a pleasant surprise to find this today.
I have been looking for an upgrade copy of this for a very long time, as my original 1959 press is borderline unlistenable due to very bad marks and surface noise. I didn’t even know they were reissuing this.
As a Kerouac obsessive, this wonderful record is absolutely essential.

Jack Kerouac's childhood parish church in Lowell, Massachusetts is being transformed into a performance center and museum honoring the father of the Beat Generation. The contrasting architecture reflects philosophical and religious tensions in the author's life.
