Ferlinghetti engages in spontaneous conversations, with his signature sense of humor fully on display, to tell an engaging version of his life story, ranging from personal events (the search for his roots, the discovery of the Italian origins, the arrival in San Francisco) to socio-political themes (the foundation of City Lights Bookstore, the beat generation, the political dissent). His wide range of achievements over a long and productive life - as poet, painter, publisher, and committed champion of free speech - have left an indelible imprint on American literary and cultural history.
