Poesis

De poesi, Ferlinghetti scripsit:

Si poeta esse velis, opera crea quae provocatione temporum apocalypticorum obire possint, etiamsi haec significatio ipsa apocalyptica videtur. ¶ Tu es Whitman, tu es Poe, tu es Mark Twain, tu es Aemilia Dickinson et Edna Sanctus Vincentius Millay, tu es Neruda et Mayakovsky et Pasolini, tu es Americanus aut non Americanus, tu verbis victores vincere potest.^[2]^[3]

Poesis Ferlinghettiana, quamquam rebus vulgaribus imbuta, in memoriis lyricis et narrativis conditur. Inter eius argumenta sunt pulchritudo mundi naturalis, tragicomica vulgi vita, discrimen singuli in societate magnaria, et somnium et proditio democratiae. Inter poetas qui multum apud eum valent sunt T. S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, E. E. Cummings, H. D., Marcellus Proust, Carolus Baudelaire, Iacobus Prévert, Gulielmus Apollinaire, et Blasius Cendrars. Umum ex eis poematibus, "Two Scavengers in a Truck, Two Beautiful People in a Mercedes," est res gradu GCSE in Anglia et Cumbria lecta, pars congeriei poematum in anthologia AQA. "Just As I Used to Say," suum poema fortasse notissimum, anno 1976, editum est, Ferlinghetti anno aetatis suae 57.
