Happy 90th Birthday Lawrence Ferlinghetti

I can only hope to live as long and productive a life.

  1. Yay Ferlinghetti! What a long and productive, well lived life. We saw him read last year or so at City Lights Books for Poetry as Insurgent Art, and where he sat at a table with mic and a bottle of Pellegrino. Apart from being a little hard of hearing, he was great, articulate and strong minded.

  2. BJ: Wish I could have been there. I'd have him sign my dog-eared copy of A Coney Island of the Mind.
