Origninal poetry from the father of the beat poetry movement
Bio / Background
A prominent voice of the wide-open poetry movement that began in the 1950s, Lawrence Ferlinghetti has written poetry, translation, fiction, theater, art criticism, film narration, and essays. Often concerned with politics and social issues, Ferlinghetti's poetry countered the literary elite's definition of art and the artist's role in the world. Though imbued with the commonplace, his poetry cannot be simply described as polemic or personal protest, for it stands on his craftsmanship, thematics, and grounding in tradition.
Ferlinghetti was born in Yonkers in 1919. Following his undergraduate years at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, he saw service in the U.S. Navy in World War II as a ship's commander. He received a Master's degree from Columbia University in 1947 and a Doctorate from the University of Paris (Sorbonne) in 1950. From 1951 to 1953, settled in San Francisco, he taught French in an adult education program, painted, and wrote art criticism.

This album is a must-have! Put it on, get yourself a drink of choice, and settle in for some truly remarkable poetry. Ferlinghetti's voice and words weave together tales of tiny bits of our past, and I could listen to him tell me these tales all night. WOW!
