• Shig (Shigeyoshi ) Murao was the only person that actually did any jail time for " Howl & Other Poems:"  On June 3, 1957, he was arrested as the main sales clerk at City Lights books for selling copies of Howl to undercover detectives, though he was exonerated when the poem was judged protected under the first amendment three months later.  He was one of the stores very first employees starting in 1953 and remained involved in the store until 1975. He passed away in 1999 at the age of 72.  Here pictured in June 1988 at Cafe Trieste, where he'd often be found -  up the street from City Lights, and down the street from his apartment where Allen would stay on his many visits to San Francisco.    (photo: Allen Ginsberg, courtesy Stanford University Libraries / Allen Ginsberg Estate)  • #citylightsbooks #shigmurao #cafetrieste #poetry #allenginsberg #howl #firstammendment #sanfrancisco #northbeach #ferlinghetti • (at Caffe Trieste) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5Tee-8hVlT/?igshid=sf0xvvaeleqs
