The Beat Poets are best remembered for walking around the North Beach neighborhood of San Francisco and City Lights Books, which published and sold their works. But it was in a converted auto repair shop into an art gallery then associated with the San Francisco Art Institute, that six poets of the new generation first gave a public reading, on 7 October 1955 at 3119 Fillmore Street, where it all began. The poets were Allen Ginsburg; Philip Lamantia; Michael McClure; Gary Snyder; Philip Whalen and Kenneth Rexroth. Although Jack Kerouac was in the audience that, he did not read that night. It was the first public reading of Ginsburgs still unfinished Howl. Although the address itself no longer exists, a memorial plaque was put up on the fiftieth anniversary. As seen 28 November 2022.
