The whole city is gearing up for LF’s 100th birthday just two weeks from today. Anne and I went to the opening of his painting and drawing exhibit at Rena Bransten’s gallery at Minnesota Street.

If you happen to be in Paris, there will be two weeks of celebrations at Shakespeare and Company, City Lights’ sister book store. We’ll be having our own celebration chez FOG from 4-6 on the 24th. Everyone is encouraged to read a favorite poem, with cake and prosecco to follow. Calling all “Whitman’s wild children.”
Come in and peruse some of Lawrence Ferlinghetti’s books of poems on our window shelf. We would love to hear you pick out a favorite, and give it a good reading. Anne’s got a beauty, and so do I.
