| Black Fire This Time
Thursday, February 23
6:30-8:00pm
Join us for live readings and a community dialogue with Tongo Eisen-Martin, Karla Brundage, devorah major, and 10 other poets featured in the critically-acclaimed anthology Black Fire This Time, Vol. 1. This event will also mark the premiere of the Black Fire This Time Touring Exhibition, a multimedia showcase that you can experience at MoAD.
Celebrating the history and legacy of the Black Arts Movement, this anthology contains the work of over 100 Black poets and writers and the last living legends of the movement, from Sonia Sanchez to Ishmael Reed, Judy Juanita, Eugene B. Redmond and Askia Touré. This intergenerational collection is a conversation bridging the founders of the movement with contemporary writers in the tradition.
This event is hosted by Aquarius Press and co-presented by the Friends of the San Francisco Public Library and Litquake, in honor of Black History Month. A book signing will follow the reading. |
