Mexico City Blues: 242 Choruses

The improvisational feel of the poems captures a jazz-like rhythm that feels so alive. I'm curious whether this was a deliberate stylistic choice or evolved naturally during writing.

Kerouac’s vivid imagery of Mexico City and the American landscape made me want to pack my bags. Is this sense of restlessness something others also felt strongly?

The rhythmic, almost musical flow feels integral to the work. I wonder if Kerouac saw these poems more as jazz improvisations than traditional poetry.
