Philip Lamantia (October 23, 1927 – March 7, 2005) was an American poet and lecturer.
His poems were often visionary, ecstatic, terror-filled, and erotic, exploring the subconscious world of dreams and linking it to daily experiences, while sometimes incorporating typographical arrangements a la concrete poetry.
He has posthumously been regarded as "the most visionary poet of the American postwar generation".
