Zu seinem 100. Geburtstag überraschte der große amerikanische Dichter und Verleger der Beat-Poeten Lawrence Ferlinghetti die Welt mit Little Boy. Auf Deutsch erschien diese Geschichte seiner Kindheit 2021. Kein Geringerer als der frisch zum Poeta Laureatus gekürte Michael Krüger forderte damals: »Jetzt sollte der Dichter Ron Winkler, der schon Ferlinghettis Erinnerungsbuch Little Boy übersetzt hat, eine Auswahl der dem Free Jazz verpflichteten, bilderreichen Gedichte des guten Menschen von San Francisco herausgeben.«

Diese Herausforderung hat Ron Winkler gerne...

Selected from a vast trove of mostly unpublished, handwritten notebooks, and edited by Giada Diano and Matthew Gleeson, Writing Across the...

A blow-by-blow unearthing of the places where the Beat writers first came to full bloom: the flat where Ginsberg wrote -Howl;- Gary Snyder's zen cottage in Berkeley; the ghostly railroad yards where Kerouac and -Cassady toiled; the pads where Jack & Neal & Carolyn lived; Ferlinghetti's favorite haunts. This meticulous guide also brings to light never-before-heard stories about Corso, Bob Kaufman, DiPrima, Kyger, Lamantia and other West Coast Beats. A entertaining read as well as a practical walking (and driving) tour that covers the entire Bay Area. With an introduction by Lawrence...
