New Directions is proud to announce a riveting and galvanizing new
book by Lawrence Ferlinghetti. At ninety-three, he shows more power
than most any other poet at work today. Ferlinghetti describes his
new book, Time of Useful Consciousness, as "a fragmented recording
of the American stream-of-consciousness, always westward streaming;
a people's poetic history in the tradition of William Carlos
Williams' Paterson, Charles Olson's Maximus, Allen Ginsberg's Fall
of America, and Ed Sanders' America: a History in Verse. 'Time of
Useful Consciousness, is an aeronautical term denoting the time
between when one loses oxygen and when one passes out, the brief
time in which some life-saving action is possible."Ferlinghetti's
first book since Poetry as Insurgent Art, the fierce and immediate
Time of Useful Consciousness presents poetry written "in ways that
those who see poetry as the province of the few and educated had
never imagined" (The New York Times Book Review).
