An Evening of Poetry with Tyehimba Jess & Tongo Eisen-Martin Presented by Small Press Traffic @ Minnesota Street Project

In a collaboration between the Poetry Center and the Undisciplining the Fields series in the San Francisco State University Department of Creative Writing; Small Press Traffic; and Black [Space] Residency @ Minnesota Street Project present a special engagement with Tyehimba Jess, recipient of the 2017 Pulitzer Prize in poetry, and Tongo Eisen-Martin, the 2021-2024 San Francisco Poet Laureate. Please join us for a necessary and restorative evening of poetry by poets whose works are vibrantly alive to the world as is and who invite us to imagine possible worlds that might could be — necessary worlds of otherwise and other ways.

This event is free and open to the public.

Books by both authors will be sold on a sliding scale.
