In Memory of Lawrence Ferlinghetti

 I wrote these closing lines from Lawrence Ferlinghetti's poem "I Am Waiting" which was in the book A Coney Island of the Mind which I first read in high school. Ferlinghetti, founder of City Lights Bookstore in San Francisco, died on February 22, 2021 at 101 years of age.

I did the lettering with Calligraphica Crystals and a Silverado brush on pineapple leaf paper of unknown origin from my paper drawer.
