Intro to City Lights Bookstore
Since 1953 when poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti and Peter D. Martin founded
this intimate bookstore, City Lights has been providing the raw
material for insurgent thinking and anti-authoritarian politics. When
City Lights published Allen Ginsberg’s controversial poem “Howl” in
1956 the bookstore became synonymous with the counter-culture Beat
writers. Now an official San Francisco Landmark, City Lights still
provides popular and underground literature to free thinking bookworms.
