Persistent Voices: Poets reading and performing works by poets lost to AIDS

Thursday August 19, 2010
Persistent Voices: Poets reading and performing works by poets lost to AIDS
curated by Kirk Read

Magnet, 4122 18th St. near Castro in San Francisco
...8pm
Free!

This event was inspired by the anthology "Persistent Voices: Poetry by Writers Lost to AIDS," edited by Philip Clark and David Groff. The book collects a wealth of poetry and captures the era in which it was written. In these poems there is urgency, lyricism, rage, humor and gossip. Co-editor Philip Clark will be joining us and books will be available that night. There will be readings of the poems as well as some brand new pieces of writing inspired by the writers in the anthology.
