Product Description
Here are all of Ferlinghetti’s poems set in the city he has lived in for over half a century.

Also included are historic photographs, scattered prose pieces, and the text of his mischievous inaugural address with his vision of the city’s history as a poetic center and suggestions for keeping it that way.
