POETS OF THE WORLD: LISSEN UP!!!

If you were to read only one book of poetry this year, this should be it. City Lights Pocket Poets Anthology contains one hundred and twenty seven monumental poems from the best of the Beat Generation. Look for these greats: Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, Kenneth Patchen, Philip Lamantia, and too many more to list here.

The book itself is simply gorgeous. It has a sturdy binding, elegant cover art, and a matte finish -- both to the cover and to the pages -- that feels velvety to the touch. It is a joy both to read and to hold.
