Sleepers Awake by Kenneth Patchen
3.0
I had to stop at "clean slip." Alright, moving on and setting aside the faint whiffs of Beatnik misogyny (not claiming the man is, he's not, but it's par for the Beat-course), Patchen is clearly an awesome visionary lyricist who shook things up. His raw anti-war fury is righteous and also beautiful.
Basically, I need to put on my surreal hepjazz dirty angel hat (get high) and re-read this like a poem like I read his other great poems. It's sort of impenetrable and exhausting, but that's ok too.
