Join us in celebrating MPC’s final reading of the season and two of the Bay Area’s finest poets! Let’s eat, drink, and fill up on poems before breaking for the summer.

Rebecca Foust’s poems won the James Dickey and Fischer Cantor Prizes in 2024, and the New Ohio Review Prize, Pablo Neruda, James Hearst, and Poetry International prizes. Her poems appear in POETRY, Ploughshares, Southern Review, and many other journals. Rebecca’s eight books include YOU ARE LEAVING THE AMERICAN SECTOR (Backbone 2024), and ONLY (Four Way Books, 2022). A recipient of fellowships from The Frost Place, Hedgebrook, MacDowell, and Sewanee, she served as Marin County’s fifth poet laureate. Rebecca divides her time between northern California and northern Minnesota.
