Lawrence Ferlinghetti moved to San Francisco in the early fifties and opened the City Lights bookstore. City Lights would also be the name of his publishing house founded a few years later. Ferlinghetti was arrested—then acquitted—for publishing Allen Ginsberg's landmark poem Howl. A recording of Ginsberg's poetry readings Howl and Other Poems was released by Fantasy Records in 1959.
Here is the discography surrounding Allen Ginsberg's debut album:
Howl and Other Poems
