Celebrated City Lights Bookstore co-founder, UNC alum Lawrence Ferlinghetti still speaking out at 99
Mon Jun 4, 2018
Yes,
Lawrence Ferlinghetti has scaled back his involvement with City Lights, where he shares an office with former City Lights Publishers editor Nancy Peters, co-owner of the store. But the celebrated bookseller, publisher and former San Francisco poet laureate nevertheless maintains an active lifestyle — and life of the mind — that anyone far younger would envy.
