Ferlinghetti: A Life
Poet, publisher, bookseller, activist--this is the story of Lawrence Ferlinghetti, the bookshop he made a landmark in San Francisco, and a life beautifully lived with writers and books.In the mid-1950s a group of San Francisco-based writers emerged as a central force in American letters. They became known as the Beat Generation. Self-styled bohemians, disillusioned with the old American dream of prosperity and conformity, they harangued these "virtues" in their writings.
But the unifying force among them was an unassuming, almost painfully shy young poet named Lawrence Ferlinghetti.As owner of the now legendary City Lights Booksellers and its publishing enterprises, City Lights Publishers and its Pocket Poet Series, Ferlinghetti promoted the writings of his rebellious contemporaries, and Their ranks included Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, and Gregory Corso.
