Ferlinghetti : portrait

Beat poet and author of Coney Island of the Mind, one of the best-selling poetry books of all time, Lawrence Ferlinghetti is the subject of this insightful and stunning collection of photographs taken by Chris Felver. Some of the best-loved poems, including a never-before-published poem, of Ferlinghetti are blended with this photographic portrait, revealing Lawrence to his readers with Allen Ginsberg, Diane di Prima, Gary Snyder, Gregory Corso, William S. Burroughs, or by himself sailing his boat, painting, camping, even writing a new poem -- an intimate look at one of America's most-revered poets.
