200126369<p>Poetry Anthology . City Lights Pocket Poets Anthology. Edited by Lawrence Ferlinghetti. San Francisco: City Lights Press 2001. Later printing. A Fine copy in illustrated hardcover binding. Lawrence Ferlinghetti founded the City Lights publishing house in 1955 launching the press with his now legendary Pocket Poets Series. First in the series was Pictures of the Gone World—and within a year he had brought out two more volumes translations by Kenneth Rexroth and then poems by Kenneth Patchen. But it was the success and scandal of Number Four Howl & Other Poems by Allen Ginsberg 1956 that put City Lights on the map positioning the Pocket Poets Series at the forefront of the literary counterculture.</p><p>A landmark retrospective this edition provides an invaluable distillation of the energetic iconoclastic and still fresh body of work represented in the ongoing series. Ferlinghetti has selected a handful of poems from each of the sixty volumes including the work of Ginsberg Kerouac Corso Pasolini Voznesensky Prévert Mayakovsky Cortázar O'Hara Ponsot Levertov di Prima Duncan Lamantia Lowry and more all of the Pocket Poets Series' innovative influential and often ground-breaking American and international poets.</p> City Lights Press, hardcover
