The Fire Thieves is a monthly intergenerational poetry series that will culminate with The Fire Thieves Anthology in 2020. Each reading features 2 Elders, 2 Middle Age and 2 Youth poets performing featured sets of work at a different landmark in San Francisco each month.

Bird & Beckett is a 20-year old institution in the Glen Park neighborhood of San Francisco highly regarded for both its rich stock of new and used books and for its vibrant poetry and music series (programmed by the nonprofit Bird & Beckett Cultural Legacy Project funded from a broad base of individual donors as well as San Francisco Grants for the Arts, the Zellerbach Foundation and others).

The Fire Thieves is made possible by the Academy of American Poets with funds from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, and contributions from Bird and Beckett Books, Peggy Peralta and May Kodama.
