Join us for our monthly Poetry Reading Series featuring John Fox & Meredith Heller.

Kim Shuck, poet and weaver from San Francisco, writes with themes of Indigenous identity, humor, resilience, and everyday sacredness. Her work blends sharp social observation with a tactile, earth-rooted lyricism that honors community, ancestry, and survival. Shuck is the author of over 10 poetry collections, including Deer Trails (City Lights Books), Clouds Running In (Taurean Horn Press), and Smuggling Cherokee (Greenfield Review Press). In 2019, Shuck, as a citizen of the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma, was named San Francisco's Poet Laureate from 2017 to 2021. Her new book, Pick a Garnet to Sleep, is available from Scapegoat Press, 2024

Bruce Isaacson’s poetry books include the new Porpoisefully Wrong, Red Dawn, as well as Anthems of the Doomed and Ghosts Among the Neon. He was the first poet laureate of Clark County, Nevada, and publisher of Zeitgeist Press, with over 150 titles. He studied/worked with key Beat poets such as Allen Ginsberg and Diane di Prima.  In New York, he was a finalist in the inaugural Nuyorican Bowery Slam. In SF, he was a coordinator of the Cafe Babar reading, part of the 1980s Spoken Word resurgence. He writes “waving poetry like a flag, in a wind that burns as it blows.”
