The Sun Always Shines In A Place Called North Beach: Part I
The Beats were not always a sad lot, and they did not eternally view the world from the dark humorous viewpoint of a William S. Burroughs. Many of the beats had a love for life that came from the living on the fringe of existence, and were able to avoid the self destructive tendencies of their fellows. This series of articles looks at a survivor, by studying the life and some of the poetry of Lawrence Ferlinghetti; a positive voice speaking the poetic word in the darkness of an eternal nightsong.
