My mother first bought me A Coney Island of the Mind thirty years ago, and she had her copy twenty years earlier still. We both loved his imagery and language. What a world without the proprietor of City Lights! Please read Ferlinghetti, he left such a nice legacy.

Tito Fuentes (Dagoberto Fuentes Peat) was a matador, a matador playing second base. Check his 1972 Topps 'in Action' Baseball card, if you need proof.
