Description
Lawrence Ferlinghetti's Poetry as Insurgent Art is a collection of remarks, aphorisms and exhortations about poetry that began in the late 1950s. Over 50 years of revisions have shaped this volume, which offers both timeless wisdom and contemporary language. Ferlinghetti's work encourages readers to think critically about the role of poetry in the world. His instructions for writers are equally instructive, urging them to "read between the lines of human discourse." This collection is a valuable resource for anyone interested in exploring the nature and purpose of poetry. The book consists mainly of two groups of aphorisms, supplemented by a short essay and two poems from the 1970s. While some readers may find certain ideas familiar, Ferlinghetti's writing remains relevant and thought-provoking.
