Long Live Man by Gregory Corso

Description

Despite atom bombs and computers, cold wars that get hot and togetherness that isn’t, too many cars and too little love… in these poems Corso celebrates the wonders (and the laughs and griefs) of being a man alive. Whether he is musing on antic glories amid the ruins of the Acropolis or watching a New York child invent games on the city’s sidewalks, Corso is there in it, putting us into it, with the magic of vision, with the senses––awakening images, that transmute reality into something more.
