Description
"Patchouli and Visions of Coriander" is a collection of poems that reflects on the lifestyle and culture of San Francisco and Mendocino, California during the late 1960s and early 1970s. This was a time when the hippie and beatnik movements were at their height, and the poems aim to capture the essence of that era. The first part of the collection, the "Single line verse held together by one consecutive reoccurring repetitious gesture," sets the tone for the rest of the poems. The fast gesture running verse conveys a sense of movement and excitement, reflecting the energy and creativity of the time.
The sonnets and stanza poems that follow the first part delve deeper into the themes of freedom, self-expression, and spiritual exploration that characterized the hippie and beatnik movements. The poems explore the cultural and artistic influences of the time, including popular music, books, paintings, and references to Zen philosophy and the Beat Generation. Through these poems, the author hopes to establish a connection between the past and the present, inspiring readers to embrace the ideals and values that defined the hippie and beatnik eras.
Overall, "Patchouli and Visions of Coriander" is a nostalgic look back at a time and place that has since passed, but whose influence continues to be felt today. Through its poems, the collection celebrates the legacy of the hippie and beatnik movements, and invites readers to reflect on the ideals of freedom, creativity, and self-expression that still hold relevance today.
