Poet, photographer, filmmaker, publisher, and dauntless world traveler, Ira Cohen was a mythic figure of boundless energy who was a catalyst for creative scenes in New York, Tangier, Kathmandu, Amsterdam, and wherever else he happened to alight in his wanderings. Cohen knew the best and the brightest — William Burroughs, Gregory Corso, Vali Myers, Brion Gysin, Paul Bowles, and Charles Henri Ford, among so many others. Julian Beck and Judith Malina of The Living Theatre and filmmaker Jack Smith were close friends and often collaborators on artistic projects. A Certain Kind of Wizard includes Cohen’s poetry, photos, interviews, and prose writings from his remarkable journals. This is a book not to be missed.
