Please join us for an evening celebrating the life and work of the foremost U.S.-born surrealist poet and San Francisco native Philip Lamantia (1927-2005) on what would have been his 91st birthday. This celebration is to launch the newly published book Preserving Fire: Selected Prose by Philip Lamantia (Wave Books, 2018). Hosted by the editor of Preserving Fire, Garrett Caples, the event will feature an overview of Lamantia's life along with readings from his poetry and prose by his friends and admirers
Preserving Fire recounts the life and thought of Surrealist, Beat Generation, and San Francisco Renaissance poet Philip Lamantia through his fugitive prose works. Ranging from poetry to politics to mythology to dance, from manifestos to travelogues to wartime declarations of conscientious objection, these writings—expertly collected by Garrett Caples—offer a dynamic picture of Lamantia's multifaceted intellectual life and the artistic movements he helped shape.
