Hello Litquakers,

Our first event of 2022 is on the horizon. Exactly one month from now, we’re celebrating the start of National Poetry Month with five Bay Area authors, hand picked by poet, professor, and Litquake confidante D.A. Powell. As you watch from the pews, they’ll exercise their divine right to poetic performance underneath the stained glass of San Francisco’s historic Grace Cathedral. We can’t wait! Find out more about the poets, and register below.

Follow us on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook to stay up to date, and tell your friends to subscribe to our newsletter for early access to all events, our podcast, videos, book recommendations, volunteer opportunities, and everything in between.

Literary news, upcoming events, and whatever else we’re looking at...

“These five writers will spend a year at Friends’ studio at the Book Donation Center to pursue their projects and share their talents with the community.” Congratulations to the 2022-2023 class of the Lisa Brown and Daniel Handler Writer’s Residency • Friends of the San Francisco Public Library

“An American TikToker has sent sales of an obscure Canadian poetry collection soaring, after she had a dream...” Once again, the power of TikTok floors us • The Guardian

“Wittgenstein’s Mistress by David Markson presents the reader with a very challenging non-linear narrative, that itself appears to one of the novel’s themes. We present a distant reading of this work...” Some computer science students plotted all the bizarre narrative devices in this VERY post-modern novel • Arxic

“...the book is a tome dedicated to what Asian America has looked, felt and sounded like in the past 30 years” Rise: A Pop History of Asian America from the Nineties to Now is out today • San Francisco Chronicle Datebook

“...the two friends joined forces to celebrate both their love of stand-up and the Bay Area, writing a book that includes more than 100 photos and covers comedy from the mid-1800s to today.” If you love to laugh, this book exploring the history of Bay Area comedy is for you • San Francisco Examiner
