Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Poet Who Nurtured the Beats, Dies at 101

I went to City Lights for the first and only time in early 2019.

I was in San Francisco for a work trip. The last time I had been in SF for vacation we didn’t make it to City Lights. We went to a couple of other bookstores instead (like the McSweeney’s pirate shop lol)but City Lights had seemed out of the way.
