Poetry Day Dedicated To Bob Kaufman
A day of poetry, dedicated to the late San Francisco poet Bob Kaufman, will be presented on Saturday, Sept. 20, on the Civic Center Plaza stage adjacent to City Hall, as a part of the 40th Annual San Francisco Arts Commission Festival. Admission is free. “Poets Open Mike” will be featured from 10 am. to 12 noon with Tony Feldon, the Vagabond poet as M.C. From noon to 5 p.m. 16 San Francisco poets will read. Eight were selected from 120 poets who entered a juried Arts Commission-sponsored contest and the other poets were chosen to represent the diversity of poetry groups in San Francisco. Among those to read are Francisco Aragon, James Broughton, Lucha Corpi, Jack Hirschman, Maureen Hurley, and Aung Aung Taik.
