Light Rafts for Flagging Spirits | Vol 17
"Poetry, the last lighthouse in rising seas." —Lawrence Ferlinghetti A celebration of the great man, who passed this week at age 101, and all things poetic, wonder-filled.
This week, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, the poet, author, publisher, painter, activist, champion of free speech, San Francisco’s first Poet Laureate, iconoclast, and the “spiritual father” of the Beat poetry movement, left this world. He was 101.
And I loved him madly.
