should have an opinion not just those of higher power and higher income. Ferlinghetti’s work reflects the influence of American
idiom and modern jazz. “Constantly Risking Absurdity” is a poem about a writer
a poet’s life of the risks they take in society when expressing themselves and
going against those who disagree and have the power to shut them down.
