Keeping tabs on authors in LINKcat: Lawrence Ferlinghetti

 

Outside of Madison Central, a sad LINKcat showing for the spiritual godfather of the Beat movement.

LINKcat

New York Times, 2/23/2021

The spiritual godfather of the Beat movement, Mr. Ferlinghetti made his home base in the modest independent book haven now formally known as City Lights Booksellers  & Publishers. A self-described “literary meeting place” founded in 1953 and located on the border of the city’s sometimes swank, sometimes seedy North Beach neighborhood, City Lights, on Columbus Avenue, soon became as much a part of the San Francisco scene as the Golden Gate Bridge or Fisherman’s Wharf. (The city’s board of supervisors designated it a historic landmark in 2001.)
