Although I am a big fan of the Beat Generation, this was my first contact with this author--and I was not disappointed. This book is filled with beautiful, complex writing in the style that this characterises the movement, very powerful imagery, and a multi-layered criticism of modern capitalist society. I highly recommend picking up this tiny book if you are into the Beats and/or for an introduction to William Carlos Williams.
