Vooral zakelijke correspondentie tussen Ferlinghetti en Allen Ginsberg: afspraken rond nieuwe uitgaven, verzoeken om geld door te sturen, manuscripten te bekijken, drukproeven te redigeren, verslagen van poëzieavonden, reisplannen, ... Ginsberg die zich opwerpt als de promotor van zowat iedereen in zijn kennissenkring en die meteen het commerciële potentieel ziet van de commotie rond 'Howl' ... Opvallend hoe informeel (lees: zonder contracten) het er zo nu en dan aan toe gaat, en - zeker vergeleken met andere correspondenties tussen schrijvers en hun uitgevers - hoe weinig het geld een rol speelt. Voornamelijk jaren 50 en 60 - jaren 70, 80 en 90 slechts 50 van de 270 pagina's. Zeige 3 von 3 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
"In 1969, Allen Ginsberg wrote to his friend, fellow poet, and publisher Lawrence Ferlinghetti, "Alas, telephone destroys letters!" Fortunately, however, by then the two had already exchanged a treasure trove of personal correspondence, and more than any other documents, their letters-intimate, opinionated, and action-packed-reveal the true nature of their lifelong friendship and creative relationship. Collected here for the first time, they offer an intimate view into the range of artistic vision and complementary sensibilities that fueled the genius of their literary collaborations.Ferlinghetti and Ginsberg were two of the twentieth century's most influential literary rebels, and their correspondence documents a time when both were rising to the peak of their notoriety and international fame, traveling, writing, publishing, and performing their poetry during times of unprecedented social and cultural experimentation and upheaval. Ferlinghetti was Ginsberg's publisher and editor, and the correspondence begins with a telegram from Lawrence after hearing Allen's legendary reading of "Howl" at the Six Gallery: "I greet you at the beginning of a great career. When do I get the manuscript?"The majority of the letters collected here have never before been published, and they span the period from 1955 until Ginsberg's death in 1997. Facsimiles and photographs enhance the collection, an evocative portrait of an inspiring and enduring relationship.Lawrence Ferlinghetti is an internationally renowned poet, painter, publisher, and founder of City Lights Books.Allen Ginsberg was a leading member of the Beat Generation and an award-winning poet best known as the author of Howl & Other Poems, among many other works"--
"Ginsberg's very first book, Howl And Other Poems was published by Ferlinghetti's City Lights Books in 1956 and it was followed by a dozen more before Allen's death in 1997. More than any other documents, the letters between these two literary giants -- intimate, opinionated, and action-packed -- reveal the true nature of their author-editor relationship, and their lifelong friendship"-- Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

Perfect for anyone interested in the Beat generation as a whole or Allen Ginsberg specifically. Unfortunately some of Ferlinghetti's responses were destroyed so there are more written by Allen included than Ferlinghetti but I love them both so I still geeked out at being able to peek in to the lives of the famous pair.
