Bring a poem to the zoom!
Kim Shuck, San Francisco’s 7th Poet Laureate, 2019-2021, MCs and keeps it real!

The New Jersey poet William Carlos Williams wrote,

It is difficult
to get the news from poems
yet men die miserably every day
for lack
of what is found there.

San Francisco’s first poet laureate, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, noted, “Poetry is news from the frontiers of consciousness. Poetry is what we would cry out upon awakening in a dark wood in the middle of the journey of our life. Poetry is white knights and mouths of desire. Poetry is the street talk of angels and devils.”
