Paul Marion edited “Atop an Underwood: Early Stories and Other Writings” by Jack Kerouac, praised as “indispensable” by the Chicago Tribune. His recent books include “Union River: Poems and Sketches,” a lyrical Americana address spanning 40 years of writing, and “Mill Power,” the comeback story of the old textile factory city Lowell, Massachusetts.
