THE KEROUAC PROJECT: https://www.kerouacproject.org/JACK KEROUAC SCHOOL OF DISEMBODIED POETICS: https://www.naropa.edu/academics/schools-centers/jack-kerouac-school-of-disembodied-poetics/The thread of Jack Kerouac's literary and personal life in the American imagination might be unwound succinctly in the following terms: ambitious and fun-loving young man leaves behind his small-town upbringing to chase heroes and dreams in the American West, finding along the way new paths to enlightenment while blazing a trail for generations of seekers to follow.It is a theme familiar to most of us, because more than a few of our favorite novels embrace it. It is also, in the case of Kerouac, almost entirely a fiction. The man most associated with the peripatetic Beat Generation spent more than half his life in his hometown of Lowell, Mass., living with his mother. This master of the postwar American idiom grew up speaking the French dialect of his Canadian immigrant parents and actually attempted an early draft of On The Road (the book was eventually published in 1957) in the dialect of his Franco-American community. Despite the image of a modern spiritual seeker who eventually found a home in Buddhism, Kerouac was born and died a self-identified Catholic; and despite his iconic status as a chronicler of the road, the most prominent theme in Kerouac's novels is a mysticism of place.Kerouac's mystical visions had another specific theme—the crucifixion. In Maggie Cassidy, Christ speaks to him from a crucifix after confession:“My child, you find yourself in the world of mystery and pain not understandable—I know, angel—it is for your good, we shall save you, because we find your soul as important as the soul of the others in the world—but you must suffer for that, in effect my child, you must die, you must die in pain, with cries, frights, despairs—the ambiguities! the terrors!”The Autobiographical Novels of Jack KerouacVisions of Gerard (written 1956, published 1963)About Kerouac's saintly older brother, who died as a child.Doctor Sax (written 1952, published 1959)Maggie Cassidy (written 1953, published 1959)Youthful porchlight romancing in Lowell.The Town and the City (written 1946-49, published 1950)Vanity of Duluoz (written and published 1968)Kerouac's last published novel, a memoir of early days.On The Road (written 1948-56, published 1957)Visions of Cody (written 1951-52, published 1972)More about Neal Cassady.The Subterraneans (written 1953, published 1958)Kerouac's pathetic love story about a black girl who dumps him for Gregory Corso.Tristessa (written 1955-56, published 1960)Junkie prostitute girlfriend in Mexico.The Dharma Bums (written 1957, published 1958)Big Sur (written 1961, published 1962)Desolation Angels (written 1956-61, published 1965)Satori in Paris (written 1965, published 1966)

Join host Bob DeMarco in Episode 603 of The Knife Junkie Podcast as he welcomes ABS Master Bladesmith Aaron Wilburn of Wilburn Forge for an in-depth conversation about the art and science of traditional bladesmithing. Aaron's journey began with a chance discovery in a Barnes & Noble bookstore in 2003, leading to a career creating some of the most sought-after Damascus steel knives in the world.In this comprehensive interview, Aaron shares the technical secrets behind his stunning Turkish twist Damascus patterns, his unconventional business philosophy of creating art rather than filling orders, and the rigorous path to becoming an ABS Master Bladesmith. From his early mentorship with Cliff Parker and Corbin Newcomb to developing his own distinctive style, Aaron's story illustrates the dedication required to master this ancient craft in the modern world.Aaron discusses his sophisticated heat treatment processes, including cryogenic treatment for superior edge retention, and explains why he sacrifices 90% of his starting material to achieve the perfect Damascus patterns. His artistic approach to knife making - including pieces that have caught the attention of Joe Rogan - demonstrates how traditional skills can create modern masterpieces.The conversation covers the demanding ABS certification process, from the journeyman performance tests requiring blades to chop through 2x4s and bend 90 degrees without breaking, to the master bladesmith challenge of creating a fluted-handle quillian dagger. Aaron's insights into the metallurgy of Damascus steel, the importance of proper equipment like his 8,000-pound Chambersburg hammer, and his philosophy of continuous learning provide valuable guidance for aspiring bladesmiths.Listen to this episode and discover why Aaron's commitment to artistic integrity and technical excellence has established him as one of the premier bladesmiths of his generation.

Join host Bob DeMarco for an inspiring conversation with Roger Pearson, the artist behind Savage Creature Defense Tools, who made a dramatic overnight transition from professional tattoo artist to full-time knife maker. After 26 years in the tattoo industry, Pearson closed his Florida shop and moved to Ohio to pursue his lifelong passion for blade crafting, creating what he calls "dangerous functional art."In this detailed interview, Pearson shares how his background in Japanese tattoo artistry directly influences his knife designs, from the intricate tsukamaki wrapping on his handles to the curved profiles of his popular Masako series. Named after Japan's first female shogun, the Masako knives feature neutral handles that work effectively in any grip orientation, reflecting Pearson's understanding of Libre knife fighting principles and practical defensive applications.The conversation covers Pearson's technical approach to knife making, including his favorite knife steel, his unique hand-wrapping techniques, and the mysterious "Stormlands" finish he's developed. Listeners will gain insights into both the artistic and practical aspects of custom knife making, from design philosophy to heat treatment challenges, all delivered with Pearson's straightforward, no-nonsense perspective.Pearson's story also highlights the supportive nature of the knife making community, where established makers help newcomers succeed through mentorship, tool sharing, and collaborative projects. His advice for aspiring knife makers emphasizes the importance of jumping in and learning through doing, rather than waiting for perfect conditions that might never come.Whether you're interested in the technical aspects of knife making, the business side of transitioning careers, or simply enjoy hearing from passionate craftspeople, this episode offers valuable insights and inspiration. Pearson's journey from tattoo shop to blade shop proves that with dedication, community support, and willingness to take risks, it's possible to successfully pursue your passions at any stage of life.Find Roger Pearson and Savage Creature Defense Tools on Instagram at www.instagram.com/savagecreaturedefensetools and on his private Facebook group.Be sure to support The Knife Junkie and get in on the perks of being a patron, including early access to the podcast and exclusive bonus content.

On episode 596 of The Knife Junkie Podcast, Bob DeMarco speaks with Jess Hoffman of J. Hoffman Knives. Jess is a Northeast Wisconsin knifemaker who has transformed his hobby into a part-time career, making heirloom quality fixed blade knives from scratch for outdoor enthusiasts. His first knife was made with nothing but a file and elbow grease, but today he runs a fully-equipped shop producing knives that sell out at retailers like Knives Ship Free.Jess shares insights into his knife-making process, from his preference for heat treating before grinding to his philosophy on creating knives as functional tools rather than display pieces. His designs, many named after Irish counties as a nod to his family heritage, focus on ergonomics and practical use. Unlike many knife makers who aim to go full-time, Jess is content keeping his craft as a supplementary passion that will eventually support his retirement.The conversation covers the technical aspects of knife making, including steel selection, handle materials, and grind styles, along with business strategies and Jess's experiences at Blade Show. Listeners will appreciate his advice for new makers, emphasizing the value of mentorship and hands-on learning over YouTube tutorials.

Sarah —better known as the “Labor Junkie RN”— is a practicing high-risk labor nurse, social media influencer, and mom of three.  You may have seen her on Instagram, TikTok, or Facebook sharing evidence-based insights on pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.  She often ends reels with “For more information on pregnancy, labor, birth and postpartum, give me a follow and check out my page”.  So, we did—and invited her to share her wisdom with you in this special podcast episode.  As a nurse and mom of three who chose unmedicated births, Sarah brings a unique perspective to the low-intervention birth experience. In this podcast, we talk to her about her choices and tips for others if they plan to have low- intervention births. But she's quick to remind us, she thinks the right choice for birthing families is the choice they make, and hopes we remember that birth is not a competition. Everyone should make their own choices.   Listen and Learn:  Why Sarah decided to make reels for social media—and how she keeps it going  Her passion for informed consent and education  Why she attended a birth class with her husband even though she was already an OB nurse   How planning ahead helps families achieve their birth goals  How she supports her patients in labor specific to their birth plan  When and how parents can ask to change to a nurse who supports their goals in labor  How a doula or other trained labor support person can make a difference  What a difference it can make to stay home in early labor on outcomes  Why she chose not to be induced  How exercise, yoga, and good nutrition helped her through her births  Resources & Mentions:  tiktok.com/@labor_junkie_rn  instagram.com/labor_junkie_rn   facebook.com/LaborJunkieRN   youtube.com/@labor_junkie_rn  Related Products from InJoy:  Understanding Birth  Understanding Natural Childbirth Techniques eClass  Stages of Labor  Pain Management for Childbirth, Volume 1: Comfort Techniques  Related Blogs and Podcasts from InJoy:  Blog: Tips for Teaching a Childbirth Class: Introducing the TENS Unit as a Labor Comfort Measure  Podcast: Spinning Babies – Comfort in Pregnancy and Easier Births with Gail Tully
