Fri. 12:06 pm ET-Poet, Artist, Bookseller – Lawrence Ferlinghetti celebrated his centennial in March. He did it in an unexpected way – publishing his first novel, called Little Boy. This week, Leigh Rick and P. T. Bridgeport examine the life and works of Lawrence Ferlinghetti. He was a poet (though he denied being a Beat poet) a bookseller (though he was best known as a foe of censorship) and now a novelist (though the novel has little plot and seems like a thinly veiled autobiography). Both Ferlinghetti and his bookstore, City Lights, survive to this day. 05/17/2019
