“I arrived in San Francisco in January 1951. After the Second World War, the population was so uprooted. Soldiers came back home for brief periods and took off again. So the population was very fluid, and suddenly it was as if the continent tilted west. The whole population slid west. It took 10 years for America to coalesce into a new culture. And the new culture happened in San Francisco, not New York.” IfsWorldYearsWarWholeHomeAmericaCultureHappenedNew YorkPeriodsWestSoldierPopulationWar Of The WorldsContinentsSan FranciscoFluidBack HomeJanuarySecond World WarNew Cultures Author:Lawrence Ferlinghetti
