An interesting book here of letters between father and son, both poets by trade, both ever loving, ever growing old with different eyes on the world. There's Louis, of course, traditional and though supposedly socialist still supporting the Cold War in word and deed. And there's Allen, the renegade Beat poet who seeks peace with a harmonica and is against most every manner of war. The two argue about politics and yet Louis is surprisingly understanding, given the times, about his son Allen's drug use. "Perhaps it will inspire some poetry," he says. And it does. Especially after Allen has his great vision in the Peruvian jungle what with seeing the origin of all consciousness, the great beast of being and nonbeing drawing near him there with the body of a mosquito and an elephant and a human being, indeed of all creation, giving him visions of his ultimate demise. And so after trips across America and abroad Allen and Luis come to grip with their intimations of mortality - no, not "Intimations Of Immortality," that would be Wordsworth, we're talking mortality here - Alan and Lou's book comes to an end. Love and kisses reign over all. A welcome book for whoever cares to read it.
