Book Synopsis Little Boy by : Lawrence Ferlinghetti
Download or read book Little Boy written by Lawrence Ferlinghetti and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2020-04-15 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the famed publisher and poet, author of the million-copy-selling collection A Coney Island of the Mind, his literary last will and testament -- part autobiography, part summing up, part Beat-inflected torrent of language and feeling, and all magical. "A volcanic explosion of personal memories, political rants, social commentary, environmental jeremiads and cultural analysis all tangled together in one breathless sentence that would make James Joyce proud. . ." —Ron Charles, The Washington Post In this unapologetically unclassifiable work Lawrence Ferlinghetti lets loose an exhilarating rush of language to craft what might be termed a closing statement about his highly significant and productive 99 years on this planet. The "Little Boy" of the title is Ferlinghetti himself as a child, shuffled from his overburdened mother to his French aunt to foster childhood with a rich Bronxville family. Service in World War Two (including the D-Day landing), graduate work, and a scholar gypsy's vagabond life in Paris followed. These biographical reminiscences are interweaved with Allen Ginsberg-esque high energy bursts of raw emotion, rumination, reflection, reminiscence and prognostication on what we may face as a species on Planet Earth in the future. Little Boy is a magical font of literary lore with allusions galore, a final repository of hard-earned and durable wisdom, a compositional high wire act without a net (or all that much punctuation) and just a gas and an inspiration to read.

Book Synopsis Greatest Poems by : Lawrence Ferlinghetti
Download or read book Greatest Poems written by Lawrence Ferlinghetti and published by Edizioni Mondadori. This book was released on 2018-09-11 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Questo libro, la più recente e aggiornata antologia di un autore che è una vera e propria icona mondiale della poesia dal secondo Novecento a oggi, conferma intatta la sua formidabile vitalità intellettuale, la sua piena apertura di fronte al mondo, e insieme la capacità davvero unica di cogliere e valorizzare poeticamente gli elementi più disparati del reale e offrirceli sulla pagina. Come scrive Leopoldo Carra, «la poesia di Lawrence Ferlinghetti conquista il lettore grazie a molte seduzioni, una delle quali risiede nell'apparente semplicità di certi versi, nella loro disponibilità giocosa, nel loro contatto vivo e ininterrotto con i sentimenti della gente comune». Ma poi precisa, opportunamente, che «il miracolo di questa poesia è l'essere riuscita a pronunciare con la stessa scioltezza numerose allusioni a una complessa tradizione testuale, innanzitutto in lingua inglese». Ciò significa che il grande interprete della beat generation, il poeta che è anche editore - e tra l'altro di Urlo di Ginsberg -, ha innovato sulla consapevole base di un immenso patrimonio culturale, a partire dal quasi coetaneo Dylan Thomas, per comprendere Pound o Yeats, su su fino a Whitman, ma anche a tutta la grande poesia inglese dell'Ottocento. L'insieme è il variegatissimo messaggio (impegno civile, ambientalismo, descrizione del quotidiano, struggente meditazione sui genitori perduti) di un artista che concepisce il mondo, pur nella sofferenza che tutti coinvolge, come un «bellissimo posto / per nascere», un posto dove «il poeta come un acrobata / si arrampica sui versi».
Download or read book Silverchest written by Carl Phillips and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2014-07-15 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "After / the afterlife, there's an afterlife." In Silverchest, his twelfth book, Carl Phillips considers how our fears and excesses, the damage we cause both to others and to ourselves, intentional and not, can lead not only to a kind of wisdom but also to renewal, maybe even joy, if we're willing to commit fully to a life in which "I love you / means what, exactly?" In poems shot through with his signature mix of eros, restless energy, and moral scrutiny, Phillips argues for the particular courage it takes to look at the self squarely—not with judgment but with understanding—and extend that self more honestly toward others. It's a risk, there's a lot to lose, but if it's true that "we'll drown anyway—why not / in color?"
