Lawrence Ferlinghetti was essential to the Beat generation. He co-founded the iconic City Lights bookstore in San Francisco’s North Beach and was responsible for publishing some of the work of his fellow Beat poets including Allen Ginsberg’s Howl and Other Poems for which he and Ginsberg faced obscenity charges in a famed trial. Ferlinghetti passed away earlier this year at the age of 101.
