Lawrence Ferlinghetti Poet, playwright, painter, and co-owner of City Lights Books

San Francisco Poems

San Francisco Poems

Synopsis:

Here are all of Ferlinghetti’s poems set in the city he has lived in for more than half a century. He brings alive, with wit and lyricism, scenes of city life: a Giants baseball game, the Green Street Marching Mortuary Band, bohemian North Beach, Golden Gate Park, yachts on the Bay, and more. Also included are historic photographs, scattered prose pieces, and the text of his mischievous inaugural address with his vision of the city’s history as a poetic center and suggestions for keeping it that way.
