About this book

What is Poetry? is a brilliant, soulful, and life-affirming collection of aphorisms in free verse by one of our most important contemporary poets, Lawrence Ferlinghetti. Also an acclaimed activist, anarchist philosopher, and editor, he is one of the founders of City Lights, the legendary bookstore and publishing house.

In this hardcover limited edition, Ferlinghetti (who began writing the aphorisms in 1950) shares brief observations that capture the nature of poetic expression: Poetry is the Unknown Guest in the house; Poetry is the eye of the heart, the heart of the mind.

Featuring stunning full-colour artwork by acclaimed visual artist and filmmaker Frederic Amat, it's a unique and timeless collector's edition that all lovers of poetry will want to have on their shelves.
