by Gregory Stephenson (Author)

THE RAGGED PROMISED LAND: Jack Kerouac's America and other scenes.

Travels in a holey holy land, sojourns in a skid row hotel, larceny & poetic license, a secret Victorian stoner, raptures of an impoverished consumptive young poet, the strange resurrection of old engravings, a gathering of far-flung fragments, moving a ton of weed. Jack Kerouac, Gregory Corso, Akbar del Piombo, Samuel Greenberg, Jerry Kamstra and someone else.
