| A brilliant collection of poems encompassing memories and reflections. Ferlinghetti shows flexibility in his style but his words remain pertinent and artistic all thr same. A recommended read. | |

| A complex and layered read. One will feel like unpeeling the mind of Ginsberg as the poems move forward. Each piece reads like a lyrical prophecy and underlines the genius of the poet. | |

In songs, book quotes,
Even in the dismal corners
Of macabre streets
Hosting nobody except
Failed men and women”
