Lawrence Ferlinghetti turns 100 on March 24. At nearly five score, there is much poetic breath left in the famed poet's literary lungs. The streams of his consciousness pour out in his latest book, a novel titled Little Boy, which Doubleday will publish March 19. It is the story of Ferlinghetti's extraordinary life-"a story," the publisher said, "steeped in the rhythmic energy of the beats, gleaming with Whitman's visionary spirit, channeling the incantatory power of Proust and Joyce."
