Jaguar Skies by Michael McClure

This is a great book of kind of late period beatnik celebration.

I got it from the Newport Beach Public Library (it was missing pages 13-15) and read it in one day.

There were poems to Bob Dylan, Robert Duncan, and other big names in language. There were personal poems about relationships and introspection. But mostly this book, an entire section is dedicated to Peru, is an explosion of good vibes and life celebration.

The poems are centered on the page and spring from some simple title or first line conceit and finish with a strong sly smile.

A very very strong book by a poet that I need to read more.
