The sun the sun

comes round the corner

like a shining knight of old

…

awakens us to speak or sing

to banish death and darkness

(from: Dictionaries of Light, by Lawrence Ferlinghetti)

As usual we like to start the e books of Immagine & Poesia reporting Lawrence Ferlinghetti’s words, words full of light, the sun light.

Our 6^th anthology is a very special edition, created to celebrate Lawrence Ferlinghetti’s 100^th birthday:

 Poets and the Artists from different countries of the 5 continents - with their poetry and art works - have helped us to create this little jewel with excellent poems and beautiful images.

Poets and Artists are natural bearers of light

 Ferlinghetti says in another poem and each and every page in this e book is a real moment of light, a step towards Peace.

Special thanks to Lawrence Ferlinghetti and to Agneta Falk Hirschman whose contributions open this e book, to Giada Diano whose help was precious and fundamental to keep us in touch with our Great Poet, Mauro Aprile Zanetti, Ferlinghetti’s assistant (to whom we entrust this publication with the task of presenting it to Ferlinghetti) and thanks to all of you, dear Artists and Poets, who have made this special edition possible with your enthusiastic support.
