As your overflowing inbox might indicate, it’s Giving Tuesday. All the charities, nonprofits, and community centers in your life are asking you to support the causes close to your heart. Do it! As for us, we just want to thank you for your ongoing support and remind you of what you’ve helped Litquake do.
You made Litquake 2021 happen!
This year’s festival was everything we hoped it could be. Loud, joyous, full of whatLitquake is essentially about: YOU. Your words. Your stories, poems, luminous images. Your readiness to listen, to be moved, to discover, to celebrate wordsmiths in their many, many forms from the Bay Area and beyond.
Each year, the festival always comes and goes like a dream. A silver lining—we’ve gone more and more digital. Which means you can revisit your favorite events, share them with friends, or check out that program you missed. Whatever it is, you’ll find it in our 2021 video archives.
