who do you, as the proud holder of a lit degree, consider to be a better writer than Kerouac? Who can match him for imagery and voice? Or better yet, maybe you can post some of your own literary writing . . . and then we can do a head to head comparison, you versus Jack.

as the cowboys say, "yer shittin' me, right?"

(Ted, cover your eyes to the following.)

In the scant year i've been reading poems fray, i've read more and better-- much better, cleaner, smarter, sharper, fluid work-- and consistent. did i say consistent? consistent work from the keyboard of Ted Burk than i've read from a lifetime of regurgitating (cud comes to mind) JK's OtR.

image and voice? again, i say, shit.
