Episode description

At 99 years old, Lawrence Ferlinghetti is somewhat of a living legend. Not only is he the founder of landmark institution City Lights Books and Publishing, but he has also published countless books of his own, written thousands of poems, had his paintings exhibited around the world, became San Francisco’s first poet Laureate, and won numerous awards that celebrate his indelible mark on American culture.

In these conversations from 2008 and 2009,  Tania and Lawrence explore the definition of poetry, Ferlinghetti’s collection of curiosities, and the 50th anniversary of his seminal book, A Coney Island of the Mind.  

This interview originally aired on Tania’s radio show, Sight Unseen, on KALX in Berkeley, California, and on Resonance FM in London.
