But nothing beats being in the room with the music & the musicians!
Jerry Ferraz and Michael Koch co-host Bird & Beckett’s monthly poetry reading on the first Thursday of each month, with an open mic following the featured readers.
Maria Serafin, “The Word-Weave Rumbera,” is a performance poet and percussionist, widely known for her work as leader of El Grupo Sinigual, with its 35-year history of performances from San Francisco, Los Angeles to Miami. Maria’s voice has been likened to that of salsa queen, Celia Cruz.
Francisco Orrego, a poet and painter, was born in San Francisco’s Mission District and raised from ten until eighteen years of age in Medellin, Colombia. A self taught artist, he now spends his time searching for his soul as a conscious objector of human expectations.
Please bring proof of vaccination and a mask, also BYOB.
No charge, though small donations help us pay an honorarium to the featured poets.
