On my first visit to San Francisco I of course went to the City Lights Bookstore, but I don't remember talking to Ferlinghetti. Going there was like those Jews who come to Jerusalem for the first time and have to visit the Western Wall. I did buy a book of poems by Allen Ginsberg that I still have, not Howl.
I hope the laughter was joyous and kind. City Lights Bookstore pilgrimage. A Coney Island of the Mind. Many poems, many steps. Pilgrimages of all sorts.
