edit Early life
Lawrence Ferlinghetti was born in Yonkers, New York on March 24 . His mother, n©e Clemence Albertine Mendes-Monsanto was of French and Sephardic Portuguese heritage. His father, Carlo Ferlinghetti, was born in Brescia Italy in 1872. He immigrated to the United States in 1892, and worked as an auctioneer in Little Italy, NYC. Carlo Ferlinghetti changed his name to Charles Ferlinghetti, Sr. Although reports state that Charles (Carlos) shortened the family name to "Ferling," the 1910 and 1920 census give the entire family the name Ferlinghetti. In the 1930 census, the name Ferling is given. Ferlinghetti reverted to the original Italian "Ferlinghetti" in 1955. In 1955 he published his first book of poems under his restored name. Ferlinghetti's father died before he was born, and his mother was hospitalized immediately after his birth. He was raised by his French aunt Emily, former wife of Ludovico Monsanto, an uncle of his mother from the Virgin Islands who taught Spanish at the U.S. Naval Academy. Emily took Ferlinghetti to

Lawrence Ferlinghetti (1919 - Present)
Lawrence Ferlinghetti (born March 24, 1919) is a poet who is best known as the co-owner of the City Lights Bookstore and publishing house, which published early literary works of the Beat Generation, including Jack Kerouac, Kenneth Rexroth and Allen Ginsberg. Ferlinghetti was born of an Italian-Portuguese-Sephardic immigrant family in Yonkers, New York, he attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and then served in the United States Navy during World War II. After the war, he got a master's degree from Columbia University and a doctorate from the Sorbonne. While studying in Paris, he met Kenneth Rexroth, who later persuaded him to go to San Francisco to experience the growing literary scene there. Between 1951 and 1953 he taught French, wrote literary criticism, and painted. In 1953, Ferlinghetti and Peter D. Martin started a bookshop, which they named City Lights after a film magazine Martin had started. Two years later, after Martin had left for New York, Ferlinghetti started the publishing house, specialising in poetry. The most famous publication was Howl, the poem by Allen Ginsberg, which was initially impounded by the authorities, and subject of a groundbreaking legal case. Ferlinghetti's best-known collection of poetry is A Coney Island of the Mind , which has been translated into nine languages. In 1998 he was named Poet Laureate of San Francisco. In addition to writing and publishing poetry and running the bookstore, Ferlinghetti continues to paint, and his work has been exhibited in galleries and museums.

SPEAK OUT
And a vast paranoia sweeps across the land
And America turns the attack on its Twin Towers
Into the beginning of the Third World War
The war with the Third World
And the terrorists in Washington
Are shipping out the young men
To the killing fields again
And no one speaks
And they are rousting out All the ones with turbans And they are flushing out All the strange immigrants And they are shipping all the young men To the killing fields again And no one speaks And when they come to round up All the great writers and poets and painters The National Endowment of the Arts of Complacency Will not speak While all the young men Will be killing all the young men In the killing fields again So now is the time for you to speak All you lovers of liberty All you lovers of the pursuit of happiness All you lovers and sleepers Deep in your private dream Now is the time for you to speak O silent majority Before they come for you!

Lawrence Ferlinghetti
By Jeff Troiano Lawrence Ferlinghetti is a poet, publisher, painter, and bookstore owner. Simple enough. Yet it seems almost larcenous to spell those occupations, in reference to Mr. Ferlinghetti, in lower-case type. As a poet, his A Coney Island of the Mind is considered a classic of the 20th century. As a publisher, his decision to produce Allen Ginsberg's Howl challenged the censors and ultimately reaffirmed our First Ammendment rights. As a painter, he continues to produce fresh, provocative, sensitively rendered "statements" that convey his message as much as any poem. And as a bookseller, City Lights is America's most famous bookstore—a mecca for book-minded visitors from around the world. Jeff Troiano: In early 2001 you wrote in an essay in the San Francisco Chronicle that poetry and freedom of speech were in big trouble. How bad are things now?

Executive summary: A Coney Island of the Mind Military service: US Navy (WWII) Lieutenant Commander Lawrence Ferlinghetti's father died before he was born, and in his infancy his mother was committed to an insane asylum. After that, young Lawrence was shipped to France to live with his aunt and uncle, and returned to America at the age of five, speaking much better French than English. As a teenager he earned the rank of Eagle Scout, and as a young man he hitchhiked and rode freight trains to Mexico, accompanied by a few friends and a tall stack of books. He served in the US Navy during World War II, and was stationed in Nagasaki after the war's atomic end. "Anyone who saw Nagasaki," he later wrote, "would suddenly realize that they'd been kept in the dark by the United States government as to what atomic bombs can do." In 1953, he opened the City Lights Bookstore at the corner of Columbus and Broadway in San Francisco. Ferlinghetti and friends had written prose and poetry rejected by the major publishers of their time, so he published affordable paperback editions of his own and his friends' works. The company's fourth title was

Lawrence Ferlinghetti is an amazing and versatile poet. Coming out of the San Fransisco Beat scene he helped to found The City Lights book store and publisher (where you can find writings by many of these other poets) and has come out with a huge amount of great work. From the famous Pictures of A Gone World, and A Coney Island Of The Mind, to novels and a picture auto-biography. Just a couple weeks ago I found a book of translations he did of Jacque Preverts poetry which I'll soon be adding. I'm relatively new to his writing but I think that along with Di Prima, Rexroth, and others, he's an awesome example of what poetry can be.

Lawrence Ferlinghetti
American poet, playwright, and publisher.
Lawrence Ferlinghetti is one of the most notable writers of the Beat movement in poetry , along with Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsburg, William Burroughs and Gregory Corso. He was one of the more politically-minded of the Beats, and his writings are still widely read and appreciated today.
Ferlinghetti is still active as a poet and as the proprietor of City Lights, the bookstore and publishing company he founded with Peter Martin. The City Lights Bookstore became one of the most famous bookstores in the world, and still stands proudly in its original location, in the North Beach section of San Francisco. In 1994, San Francisco renamed a street in his honor. He was also named the first Poet Laureate of San Francisco in 1998. In 2000, he received the lifetime achievement award from the National Book Critics Circle. Currently, Ferlinghetti writes a weekly column for the San Francisco Chronicle. He travels frequently to participate in literary conferences and poetry readings. Lawrence Ferlinghetti was born March 24, 1919, in Yonkers, New York. He lived a very "Beat" existence during his first 30 years. After his mother was committed to an insane asylum shortly after his birth, the young Lawrence was sent to France to live with a female relative until he was five. He learned English upon returning to America, and began writing poetry during his boarding school years. His favourite reading was Baudelaire, Hemingway, Faulkner, Dos Passos and Wolfe. Although he became an Eagle Scout in his adolescence, he also fell in with a street gang and was arrested for petty theft.

    Lawrence Ferlinghetti was named the first poet laureate of San Francisco by Mayor Willie Brown in August 1998. His inaugural speech, printed here in slightly edited form, was delivered to an enthusiastic, full house at the San Francisco Main Library in October [for the full text, see the City Lights Web site, www.citylights.com]. In her introduction, city librarian Regina Minudri told a marvelous story about being a "baby librarian" in the fifties, trying to get her library to purchase a banned Henry Miller book. After her request was turned down, she went to City Lights, determined to buy it with her own money to place it in the library. She told Ferlinghetti why she was buying it; it was an expensive book at that time. Lawrence said that if she would truly put it into the library's collection, he would give it to her, and then did. That says it all. Lawrence Ferlinghetti today is the author of fourteen books of poems, as well as fiction, translations, plays, and essays. He is also a committed painter, a renowned publisher, and co-proprietor of the irreplaceable City Lights Bookstore, which he co-founded in 1953. His latest book

    Born in New York, Lawrence Ferlinghetti earned a doctoral degree in poetry at the Sorbonne in Paris with a dissertation entitled 'The City as Symbol in Modern Poetry: In Search of a Metropolitan Tradition'. In fact he was about to become part of a metropolitan tradition himself, because after leaving Paris he moved to San Francisco, which was about to discover the Beat Generation. Ferlinghetti and Peter Martin started a magazine there called 'City Lights,' named after the Charlie Chaplin movie. He and Martin established their offices on the second floor of a building on Broadway and Columbus in North Beach. They decided to open a bookstore on the floor below as a side venture, naming it after the magazine. The City Lights Bookstore became one of the most famous bookstores in the world, and still stands proudly in its original location.
    Photo of FERLINGHETTI READING
    Doing double-time as a businessman and a poet, he began publishing original books by himself and others under the City Lights name, most notably the 'Pocket Poets Series.' The idea of Pocket Poets was to make poetry books easily affordable, and the small attractive paperback volumes are still a common sight today. Ferlinghetti published Allen Ginsberg's 'Howl' as Pocket Poets Number Four, and was tried on obscenity charges for this. He was declared innocent, a landmark victory for free speech.
