City Lights Pocket Poets Series

“The City Lights Pocket Poets Series is a series of poetry collections published by Lawrence Ferlinghetti and City Lights Books of San Francisco since August 1955. The series is most notable for the publication of Allen Ginsberg‘s literary milestone ‘Howl‘, which led to an obscenity charge for the publishers that was fought off with the aid of the ACLU. The series is published in a small, affordable paperback format with a distinctive black and white cover design. This design was borrowed from Kenneth Patchen‘s An Astonished Eye Looks Out of the Air (1945), published by Untide Press in Oregon.
