Kerouac is considered by some as the "King of the Beats"

as well as the "Father of the Hippies". Kerouac's plainspeak manner of writing prose, as well as his nearly long-form haiku style of poetry have inspired countless modern neo-beat writers and artists, such as George Condo Painter, Roger Craton Poet and Philosopher, and John McNaughton filmmaker. Brazilian poet Wagner Hertzog de Oliveira said that "Kerouac was the most beautiful, sensitive and meaningful voice of american literature post-World War II." The Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics at Naropa University is named in his honor.
