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, Charles Henri Ford, and so many others. Filmmaker Jack Smith, Julian Beck and Judith Malina of The Living Theatre were close friends and collaborators on many projects. A Certain Kind of Wizard includes Cohen’s poetry, photos, interviews, and prose writings from his remarkable journals.
