Summary:
Lawrence Ferlinghetti has influenced American culture like few other poets. But in 1955, shortly before he would gain fame as the beloved author of A Coney Island of the Mind, he was unpublished and mostly unknown. He launched City Lights Publishers that year with a five-hundred-copy letterpress edition of this book, Pictures of the Gone World: Number One, in the Pocket Poets Series. A classic collection of early work, Pictures includes many of Ferlinghetti's most iconic poems. This limited edition sixtieth anniversary hardcover restores the book to its original format, and is a must for his fans. Born in1919 in Bronxville, New York, Lawrence Ferlinghetti is an American poet, painter and liberal activist. Author of poetry, translations, fiction, theatre, art criticism, and film narration, he is best known for A Coney Island of the Mind, written in1958. Ferlinghetti's poetry is grounded in lyric and narrative traditions. Among his themes are the beauty of natural world, the tragicomic life of the common human, the plight of the individual in mass society, and the dream and betrayal of democracy.
