It‘s been a long time since I read contemporary poetry. I thoroughly enjoyed this collection put together by Ferlinghetti in 2001. Lots of Ginsberg, Kerouac, and lots of translations. A whole bunch of names I didn‘t know.

I picked my copy up at Ferlinghetti‘s store, City Lights, in San Francisco. And I read it in a bunch of 15 minute sittings. (It made a nice filler as i waited for my morning coffee to cool.)

Leftcoastzen Be there now(City Lights) 2y

Graywacke @Leftcoastzen oh, nice! Enjoy 💙 2y

Leftcoastzen @Graywacke it was a wish , not reality. I used to live in SF, Ferlinghetti had an office up in the poetry room. I saw him going in once, my chance to ask a significant question about poetry or the beats, the best I could come up with was Hi! 😄👋 2y

Graywacke @Leftcoastzen ah. I‘m with you on that wish. But how cool you got greet Ferlinghetti! 2y

A couple weeks ago I visited the landmark that is City Lights Bookstore on Columbus Avenue in San Francisco. Well, it‘s been a long time since I‘ve read poetry (well, from more recently than Shakespeare). But I‘ve picked this up a few times now and I‘ve enjoyed it. I think I‘m actually reading it.

SamAnne Love visiting that bookstore! 2y

Graywacke @SamAnne I wish I could get there routinely in some way. A little far from Houston, though. 2y

SamAnne @graywacke I make it every 3 years or so. 2y

Happy Indy Bookstore Day from City Lights in San Francisco!!!!

Leftcoastzen Yay!A drink at Vesuvio or a coffee at Caffe Trieste would go with those books you find.😀 6y

tournevis This bookstore is talked about repeatedly in the book I'm currently reading. That and Shakespeare & Co. which apparently there's a sign somewhere in City Lights that says Shakespeare & Co. I know City Lights is written on S & C's façade. 6y

Booksnchill @Leftcoastzen already at Vesuvio 6y

Leftcoastzen Hahaha ! Enjoy! 6y
