Started reading his poetry in high school and college, mid to late 60's. Very much identified with "I Am Waiting" as guide to my younger universe. One of the great Beat Poets. He may be gone physically, but his legacy will live as long as people read.

My deepest condolences to the family. May you find comfort
in your treasured memories of Your loved one and May God continue to comfort you in the days, months and years ahead.

I shouted "The World is a Beautiful Place to be Born Into . . ." to the accompaniment of jazz in high school English class in 1966. "Coney Island of the Mind" has been a beloved book ever since. Lawrence Ferlinghetti was one of my heroes and will be until the day I die. Thank you for being pure and honest, Mr. Ferlinghetti.

I loved Lawrence Ferlinghetti's poetry, and shared a selection from PICTURES OF THE GONE WORLD with a class while in high school during the 1960s. He was an original. Thank you for the reality and beauty of your poems. RIP

My father , James Bell "big Jim" was a frequent visitor to the "City Lights book store" back in the day. I have warm memories on our, (shared birthday) walking thru North Beach and stopping there, on our way over to " Vesuvios cafe". God bless.

Lawrence's life touched all of ours. May his memory find home in our hearts.

The best thing to do for Lawrence is to keep his Bookstore open for poetry. Good fighter. "rest before labour" W Blake, the first Beat. RIP

While living on Chestnut Street at Columbus , I practically spent all of my free time at City Lights and had the pleasure of meeting Lawrence on several occasions . North Beach was my stomping grounds in the 80's and 90's before moving to the Mission district .
Lawrence and the north beach scene was and still is outta sight .
The beatniks and the poets and the book stores and coffee shops make life interesting and worth living . RIP Lawrence . City Lights improved my life and sharpened my views .

Farewell, Lawrence ferlinghetti:

Rest In Peace, and enjoy the journey. I know of you via a long term resident of the city by the bay, Gavin Arthur, who proceeded you by nearly 49 years, whose biography I’m writing.

Lawrence Ferlinghetti's contribution to poetry in America was immense and his defence of freedom of expression under the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was historic. May his poetic soul rest in peace & joy.

Your poetry was a light to guide me in my craft as a poet.

To the family,

I would like to extend my condolences to you. Life is truly precious and when we lose our loved ones it breaks our heart. Please know that God is there as a source of comfort and strength. He will hold on to you and help you get through this difficult time. Isa. 41:10.
