"Selected Poems of Philip Lamantia reflects each facet of the poet's development up to the point of its publication. "Revelations of a Surreal Youth (1943-1945)" includes the incendiary poems from his teenage years which brought him early avant-garde fame, including his signature "Touch of the Marvelous." "Trance Ports (1948-1961)" covers the Beat years, evincing increasing involvement with mysticism, esoterism, and religion. Finally, "Secret Freedom (1963-1966)" heralds his return to surrealism, cementing his countercultural bona fides with the LSD-fueled "Blue Grace," the zig-zagging Kundalini-inspired "What Is Not Strange?" and the Aquarian Age ode "Astro-Mancy," which prefigures his later engagement with Native American culture. This new edition includes an afterword by poet and editor Garrett Caples, recounting the book's genesis through correspondence between Lamantia and Ferlinghetti and including archival images. A much-needed restoration to the Pocket Poets Series of today, Selected Poems of Philip Lamantia glows like a red-hot coal still burning with the revolutionary fervor of its time"--mehr

Autor

Philip Lamantia (1927 2005) first came to prominence as a 15-year-old poet in 1943, when he was published in the avant-garde periodical View and, the following year, in André Breton's surrealist magazine in exile, VVV. He subsequently came under the influence of Kenneth Rexroth and participated in the famous 1955 Six Gallery reading, where Allen Ginsberg debuted Howl. Often considered a poet of the Beat Generation, his association with City Lights began in 1967, when Lawrence Ferlinghetti published Lamantia's Selected Poems: 1943-1966 in the Pocket Poets Series. Following his next book, The Blood of the Air (1970), Lamantia published his remaining books with City Lights, including Becoming Visible (1981), Meadowlark West (1986), and Bed of Sphinxes (1997). He died in San Francisco, CA, in 2005.
