Overview

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.

  • Lawrence Ferlinghetti (1919-2021) was a poet, painter, and founder of City Lights Booksellers & Publishers. His books include A Coney Island of the Mind and Pictures of the Gone World, among many others.
