Lawrence Ferlinghetti has been many things: a poet, painter, pacifist, publisher, defender of free speech, and owner of San Francisco's legendary City Lights bookstore. Now Ferlinghetti reveals yet another product of his manifold talents — his travel journals that span over 60 years. Selected from a vast trove of mostly unpublished, handwritten notebooks, and edited by Giada Diano and Matthew Gleeson, "Writing Across the Landscape" becomes a transformative work of social, cultural, and literary history.
Embedded with facsimile manuscript pages and an array of poems, many never before published, "Writing Across the Landscape" revisits an era when political activism coursed through the land, establishing Ferlinghetti as not only a poet but also a keenly observant writer with a singular American voice.
