With a mug full of coffee on the table and a laptop, my mind always felt like a factory manufacturing interesting poems with ideas coming from all directions. Every day, I felt as though the coffee that I sipped, worked as the required fuel for thoughts in the local coffee café of my colony wherein the ambience was just perfect for my mind to focus on the transformation of those ideas into a poetry. So when it came to name the book, the title ‘The Poetry Café’ just sounded the best among all, for the café did not just sell coffee but also the ideas for poetries for me. Each leaf of this book has a story to tell, an experience to share and an emotion to feel. Each day that I spent in that coffee café was a day spent with the aroma of freshly brewed coffee, a few cordial people and, of course, the best feelings one can experience while every day going an inch closer to the destination of becoming a published author. It is an interesting mix of varied genres that will take you through a myriad of emotions from beginning to end. Wish you all a joyful reading experience.

Welcome to the Libido Cafe, where monkeys are welcome, the piano has been drinking, and the coffee is always perfect. In his second collection, Marck L. Beggs explores a wide range of poetic forms and subjects. From the formal structure of the sonnet to invented forms and linguistic experiments, from the vulgar to the salubrious, from the humorous to the offensive, the poet brings a new voice and a fresh sense of urgency to each poem. The result is a book which crosses genres and schools of poetry. Beggs's poems veer from the immediately accessible to the obscure; in a word: eclectic.

This book does not aim to document comprehensively the extraordinarily rich activity in New York City in the early 1960's. Instead, the author focuses on one year, 1963. This was the most productive year of the period 1958-64, the transition between the Fifties and Sixties. The author also focuses on one other place---Greenwich Village in lower Manhattan. For it was primarily here, in a place already historically and culturally mythologized as avant-garde terrain, that the emerging generation of vanguard artists lived, worked, socialized, and remade the history of the avant-garde. - from the Introduction.
