But in 1955, shortly before he would gain fame as the beloved author of \u003cem\u003eA Coney Island of the Mind\u003c\/em\u003e, he was an unpublished and mostly unknown poet. He launched City Lights Publishers that year with a five-hundred-copy letterpress edition of \u003cem\u003ePictures of the Gone World\u003c\/em\u003e, Number One in the Pocket Poets Series. A classic collection of early work, \u003cem\u003ePictures\u003c\/em\u003e includes many of Ferlinghetti''s most iconic poems. This limited edition sixtieth anniversary hardcover restores the book to its original selection with the addition of eighteen new verses, and is a must for collectors and fans.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLawrence Ferlinghetti \u003c\/strong\u003eis a poet, painter, and founder of City Lights Booksellers \u0026amp; Publishers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57481567994229,"sku":"9780872863033","price":7.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780872863033.jpg?v=1786089839","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/pictures-of-the-gone-world","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
