Poetry. Gathering together and reprinting Ferlinghetti's poems about San Francisco, this beautiful little volume also includes Ferlinghetti's politically-charged Inaugural Address as Poet Laureate of San Francisco, as well as photographs going back to the 1950s. Seen in this new context, the reader suddenly realizes how many of Ferlinghetti's greatest poems were about the city he lived in and loved almost his entire life (and a city whose culture he also helped shape). This is also the first book in the new "City Lights Foundation" series, which will be available only from SPD, or directly from City Lights.
