A Far Rockaway of the Heart
About this book
A Far Rockaway of the Heart is Ferlinghetti's sequel to A Coney Island of the Mind , written forty years later, in what the author has called "a poetry seizure" that lasted more than a year. A sequence of one hundred and one poems with recurrent themes, it includes various sections on love, art, music, history, and literature, as well as confrontations with major figures in the avant-garde before the arrival of the Beat generation. This edition now includes eighteen new poems from Ferlinghetti's "Pictures of the Gone World" which he publishes under his City Lights imprint. A self-styled "stand-up tragedian," Ferlinghetti has been called "the foremost chronicler of our times." If A Coney Island of the Min d was a generations vibrant eye-opener, A Far Rockaway of the Heart is a wake-up call for a new age.
