Lawrence Ferlinghetti turns 94 today - Happy Birthday, Lawrence! - Chris Felver's full-length documentary, Ferlinghetti - A Rebirth of Wonder is currently going the rounds and is undoubtedly a must-see. Last year's landmark art-show - Cross-Pollination: The Art of Lawrence Ferlinghetti (at the Sonoma Valley Museum of Art) was a singular event, a major retrospective. Lawrence is interviewed about that (and about other matters) here.
Here's previous birthday-posts on the Ginsberg blog - a links-rich posting from last year, and a salutation from 2011 (including a link to him speaking on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the City Lights bookstore) - also 2010's birthday-posting (which includes vintage notes from Kenneth Rexroth on Ferlinghetti).
His City Lights page (ah! City Lights, what an extraordinary achievement!) is here.
