"[In Goya's Greatest Scenes We Seem to See]" by Lawrence Ferlinghetti
I decided to write about one of Lawrence Ferlinghetti's poems because I did my oral presentation over him and found out just how interesting and quite brave he is. With that being said, I feel that he has a true passion for poetry considering that he risked his freedom to publish "Howl". In this poem, "[In Goya's Greatest Scenes We Seem to See]" there seems to be two different seems. One of those scenes being of Goya's paintings and the other of possible traffic and transportation in America. These two scenes are comparable though because in the paintings it shows how the deaths are affecting the livelihood of the scene, while the American transportation traffic is annoying and causes deaths and troubles as well. Ferlinghetti does a great job in my eyes, of finding two very different subjects and finding a resemblance between them. This poem shows just how creative the mind of Lawrence Ferlinghetti is.
