But in 1955, shortly before he would gain fame as the beloved author of \u003cem\u003eA Coney Island of the Mind\u003c\/em\u003e, he was an unpublished and mostly unknown poet. He launched City Lights Publishers that year with a five-hundred-copy letterpress edition of \u003cem\u003ePictures of the Gone World\u003c\/em\u003e, Number One in the Pocket Poets Series. A classic collection of early work, \u003cem\u003ePictures\u003c\/em\u003e includes many of Ferlinghetti's most iconic poems. This limited edition sixtieth anniversary hardcover restores the book to its original selection with the addition of eighteen new verses, and is a must for collectors and fans.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLawrence Ferlinghetti \u003c\/strong\u003eis a poet, painter, and founder of City Lights Booksellers \u0026amp; Publishers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA prominent voice of the wide-open poetry movement that began in the 1950s, Lawrence Ferlinghetti has written poetry, translation, fiction, theater, art criticism, film narration and essays. Often concerned with politics and social issues, Ferlinghetti's poetry countered the literary elite's definition of art and the artist's role in the world. He is the author of \u003cem\u003eA Coney Island of the Mind\u003c\/em\u003e, America's most popular book of poetry and, most recently, \u003cem\u003eTime of Useful Consciousness\u003c\/em\u003e. He is also a lifelong painter and publisher, and the co-founder and owner of City Lights Booksellers and Publishers in San Francisco, California.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 45\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.4 x 6 x 4.8 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 01, 2001\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51758127055136,"sku":"9780872863033","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/dece23a1549106edbc709ce8ff529562.webp?v=1780118705","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/pictures-of-the-gone-world-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
