Wow! I love that everyone likes LF's poems! He is my dad and really he is totally amazing and so many people who aren't necessarily poetry fans find so much in my dad's poems.

p.s. Yes @devindevon59 It is the best place to find women....they trampled and continue to do so every time to get to him and don't even see anyone else standing there! ;) Seriously!

He first language is French and second is English :).

This is a great video and I am sending it to him since he never watches YouTube! :D

i've read and loved Ferlinghetti's poems for decades. He is etched onto my brain. His words spring to mind often. His words are as much a part of me as my face in a mirror. Thank you for making some sense of the world. When a computer can generate such verses, I'll know that artificial intelligence is truly here.

The seagulls were freaky at first. But the poem slowly worked it out.. Very inspiring is poetry that involves astronomy...

[Raymantico]

Popeye's grandpappy shipping the same shop-worm poems and Baloney.

[whizbang47]

He was Popeye on D-Day. Is that what you hate?

Stay blighted, jerkoff.

[Raymantico]

He was at D-Day too!!!

I thought he only clobbered them at Nagasaki!?

He really was Popeye!

But yeah, that's it--I have to ask myself "why do I hate America so much?"

thank you for this video.

[deathwalk60]

I love the way Lawrence reads. Can you believe it, he and Ginsberg, Ed Sanders, and others started the Beat Generation.

[SecretlyWishing]

i love this man's poetry.

He's an inspirational figure in my life. Almost as prominent as Thoreau.

[StJohnJen]

My soul, sleeping through a fascist high school was awakened by a poem in a dusty anthology 'Christ Climbed Down" and, with my heart, ran away to San Francisco where, at City Lights, Lawrence presided over a Feast of Beats and Gave Voice to a Vixen -- Freedom! jrs
