Amazon.com description: Product Description:
Lawrence Ferlinghetti's first book since Poetry as Insurgent Art, a new call to action and a vivid picture of civilization moving towards its brink.
New Directions is proud to announce a riveting and galvanizing new book by Lawrence Ferlinghetti. At ninety-three, he shows more power than most any other poet at work today. Ferlinghetti describes his new book, Time of Useful Consciousness, as âa fragmented recording of the American stream-of-consciousness, always westward streaming; a peopleâs poetic history in the tradition of William Carlos Williamsâ Paterson, Charles Olsonâs Maximus, Allen Ginsbergâs Fall of America, and Ed Sandersâ America: a History in Verse. âTime of Useful Consciousness, is an aeronautical term denoting the time between when one loses oxygen and when one passes out, the brief time in which some life-saving action is possible.âFerlinghettiâs first book since Poetry as Insurgent Art, the fierce and immediate Time of Useful Consciousness presents poetry written âin ways that those who see poetry as the province of the few and educated had never imaginedâ (The New York Times Book Review).Editions
