Piero Heliczer: A Purchase in the White Botanica – Collected Poems

Description

Granary, paperback

Publication Date: October 02, 2001

Publisher Marketing: This book offers the first collected works of the poetry of Piero Heliczer, an important underground poet, filmmaker, actor ( Flaming Creatures), musician (he was present in seminal jams which evolved into the Velvet Underground) and small press publisher (Dead Language Press). Adapting Apollinaire’s ambulatory present-tense notations to the postwar landscapes of London and New York, and projecting them through a delicate and humorous sensibility, Heliczer fashioned some of the greatest poems of the 1960s and 1970s, which are collected here for the first time.
