In the year of his demise I thought I should honour Ferlinghetti's life and vision by reading a selected poems. So many of his poems have the lightness of the wings of fancy lifting off the pavement of pedestrian common sense. So often he reorientates me and reminds me of the spirit of play and freedom that can be crushed out of us by duty and suburbia. Thanks for your legacy, I treasure it. When I took my first poetry writing class in college, my professor told me that my work reminded him of Lawrence Ferlinghetti. At the time, I hadn't read anything by Ferlinghetti, but being compared to someone who was a contemporary and friend of Ginsberg and Kerouac was fantastic! I immediately started reading some of his work, and eventually picked up this volume so I would have more to look through. It took me a while to read it, but here we are. This is a fantastic collection! There are writings from almost each period of Ferlinghetti's career, samples taken from other works he has released over time. There seems to be a focus on travel and art in many of these works, and one wonders if this collection also works as a bit of biography of the man, pinpointing where he was and what his mind was set to during each period of his life. There are poems in here that get my blood boiling with creativity. He makes me want to write, to create. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
