Lawrence Ferlinghetti: Centenarian and Iconoclast
Week 6 | M, Tu, W, Th, F | Hultquist 201B | Ages 14 and up
Come learn about one of America's founding Beat poets as we travel back to the late 1950s and '60s. Over subsequent decades, Ferlinghetti, who lived to be 102, raised and magnified consistent themes through turbulent times. Co-founder of City Lights Booksellers in San Francisco, this artist created space for what poets like Allan Ginsberg and others were exploding to say. Ferlinghetti's masterful poetry and prose break open the human heart.
