Poetry as Insurgent Art
Lawrence Ferlinghetti
New Directions
New York 2007
"I am signalling you through the flames.
...
"Be subversive, constantly questioning reality and the status quo.
...
"Your poems must be more than want ads for broken hearts.
...
"Words can save you where guns can't.
...
"See the rose through world-colored glasses.
...
"Challenge capitalism masquerading as democracy.
...
"Stand up for the stupid and crazy.
...
"Mock those who tell you you're living in a dream world..."
