Who Are We Now?

"Who Are We Now?" is a poetry collection by Lawrence Ferlinghetti, published in 1976. Ferlinghetti was a key figure in the Beat movement, a literary and social movement that emerged in the 1950s. His work, often characterized by a conversational style and political themes, aimed to express lived experiences and challenge conventional society. The collection's title suggests an exploration of identity and the contemporary state of affairs, reflecting the Beat generation's focus on social and political commentary through their art.
