WOW! You succeeded - Whether this is an angry ghost or an angry human, the sheer violence stretches out and grab us in his mighty grip.

Daniel, when I see WOW from you, I am greatly flattered! And it means so much to me because I'm working on a book of poetry about Kerouac. Thank you so much for your very valuable feedback!
