A Coney Island of the Mind - Lawrence Ferlinghetti, New Directions Publishing Corporation

The title of this book is taken from Henry Miller's &quot,Into the Night Life&quot, and expresses the way Lawrence Ferlinghetti felt about these poems when he wrote them during a short period in the 1950's-as if they were, taken together, a kind of Coney Island of the mind, a kind of circus of the soul.
