Paul Yamaguchi, the principal book buyer at City Lights Book Store talks to Budhaditwa Bhattacharya about Hungryalist insurrection in poetry.

City Lights published poets of the Hungryalist Movement ( Shakti Chattopadhyay, Malay Roy Choudhury, Samir Roychoudhury and Debi Roy, among others ) from India in the 1960s. Would you know how this happened?

It is my belief that the poets of the Hungryalist Movement were part of a wave of global insurrectionary poetry that swept around the globe during the 20th Century. The spirit of insurrection in poetry appeared in different parts of the globe under a variety of names, Negritude, Surrealism, Hungryalist, and Beat. Lawrence Ferlinghetti felt he and City Lights were part of that insurrectionary wave of poetry. Ferlinghetti most likely felt a profound sense of solidarity with the Hungryalist poets.
