Quick Summary

A Far Rockaway of the Heart is a poetry collection by Lawrence Ferlinghetti, published in 1997. It serves as a sequel to his highly successful 1958 work, A Coney Island of the Mind. Ferlinghetti, a significant figure in the Beat movement, was known for his conversational style and politically charged verse. His poetry often resonated with a sense of disaffection and was popular in live readings. A Far Rockaway of the Heart continues this tradition, exploring themes relevant to contemporary culture and society, characteristic of Ferlinghetti's broader body of work.1
