That Kerouac was poetic is a given — he was an incredible poet and even his novels were revolutionary for their lyrical beats and sensibility, spontaneous and free-flowing spills of words not unlike the jazz compositions that influenced him. Visionary? All the Beats of his time were — Allen Ginsberg and William S. Burroughs complete the trifecta — as they ushered in a new cultural age, impacting generations of creatives from the Beatles to Bob Dylan and Patti Smith. As for his spiritual side, Kerouac was into Zen Buddhism and even called himself a religious wanderer, a.k.a dharma bum, which became the title of his 1958 novel The Dharma Bums.
“[Pisces] have the most vivid imagination of all the signs,” Cox adds, noting that they often, as children, have imaginary friends. Kerouac, in fact, had full teams’ worth of them. Few people know that the writer created his own fantasy baseball game as a kid — complete with cards and diagrammed charts — featuring invented players (Wino Love, Warby Pepper and Zagg Parker) on imaginary teams (Boston Fords, New York Chevvies). He also had his own fantasy horse-racing circuit. Kerouac played both by himself.
