Published in 1997, this book is considered a sequel to his 1958 book [A Coney Island of the Mind]. The poems here are about childhood and family. Ferlinghetti's father died before he was born and his mother entered an asylum shortly after that. Ferlinghetti was raised by his Aunt Emily, by strangers and sometimes in an orphanage. The poems in this book were often sad, which I usually like, but.. this was my least favorite of the three Ferlinghetti books that I read. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
Hæderspriser
A sequel to A Coney Island of the Mind (written forty years after the original in what the author has called "a poetry seizure" that lasted more than a year), A Far Rockaway of the Heart is a sequence of one hundred and one related poems with recurrent themes. The author also thinks of it as a kind of caustic critique of modern poetry, including confrontations with or parodies of major figures in the literary avant-garde before the arrival of the Beat generation, notably Pound and Eliot, Beckett and Joyce.
