The title of this book is taken from Henry Miller's "Into the Night Life" 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.

About Lawrence Ferlinghetti

A defining figure of the San Francisco Renaissance and the Beat Generation, Lawrence Ferlinghetti (1919–2021) was born in Yonkers, New York. In 1953 he co-founded City Lights Books in San Francisco, the first all-paperback bookstore in the United States. His publication of Allen Ginsberg's Howl and Other Poems in 1956 led to his arrest on obscenity charges; his acquittal in 1957 was a landmark for free expression. His collection A Coney Island of the Mind (City Lights, 1958) has sold more than a million copies. He received the inaugural Literarian Award from the National Book Foundation in 2005.
