Poet and publisher Lawrence Ferlinghetti Photo: Deanne Fitzmaurice, The Chronicle
When Lawrence Ferlinghetti died in February, for some it felt like the poet and City Lights Booksellers & Publishers co-founder took a piece of San Francisco with him.
Like the store, Ferlinghetti was a literary landmark, his presence in North Beach and around the city as much a given as the fog or cable car bells. While his death at age 101 was perhaps not surprising, the loss came with a kind of shock that this living institution would no longer be here.
In his century of life, Ferlinghetti was many things: San Francisco’s poet laureate, a book merchant, an activist, a visual artist and a neighbor. Memories shared by the community with The Chronicle and on social media reflect those multitudes. Here are a few tributes celebrating Ferlinghetti’s place in the city and his lasting impact on our culture.

Farewell, and thanks for all the fish treats
I wasn’t generally given to vandalism as a child growing up in the Virginia suburbs of Washington, but when I was 7 or so, I took a marker and defaced our game of “Monopoly.” The instructions on one square said “Go to jail.” I crossed that out and wrote “Go to San Francisco.”
I never stopped dreaming that it was possible to roll the dice and transport yourself to a place where you could rewrite the rules. After college, I followed my own direction and moved to California. It was 1995, when San Francisco and the internet were having their first collision.
It’s a conservation conversation starter; garbage turned into a gorgeous wrap.
