From Ferlinghetti to Whitman
The library has a new on-demand streaming video platform called Kanopy with thousands of classic and contemporary films, educational shorts, and documentaries.
During national poetry month, we’d like to highlight two great films from the Kanopy collection:
Ferlinghetti is a feature film about Lawrence Ferlinghetti, a beat poet and the famous proprietor of City Lights Booksellers & Publishers in San Francisco. Ferlinghetti served as a catalyst for and curator of the beat poetry scene and is one of the last surviving of the original beats. Ferlinghetti’s most well known book, A Coney Island of the Mind, remains one of the most popular books of American poetry ever published.
The film, Walt Whitman: An American Original uses “readings, critical insights, and biographical details” to create a portrait of Walt Whitman, the native Brooklynite and poetic visionary.
What better way to celebrate national poetry month than to take a poetry journey from New York to San Francisco? And what better way to celebrate Whitman’s vision of a life where,”all goes onward and outward, nothing collapses”?
National Poetry Month Display
