Purchase In The White Botanica: The Collected Poetry Of Piero Heliczer, A

This book offers the first collected works of the poetry of Piero Heliczer, an important underground poet, filmmaker, actor (Flaming Creatures), and musician (he was present in seminal jams which evolved into the Velvet Underground) and a small press publisher (Dead Language Press). Heliczer blends abstract or atmospheric images to create an almost religious notion of poetry and life. He was a crucial but obscure figure in the art underground of the Lower East Side 1960s.
