About this Event

San Francisco Poet Laureate emerita Kim Shuck invites poets Lisa Rosenberg, Carolyn Goodwin and E. K. Keith to read from their works. Note: This program takes place in the Main Library's Latino Room (lower level).

Kim Shuck was San Francisco’s seventh Poet Laureate. Her poetry draws on her multiethnic background which includes Polish and Cherokee heritage, and her experiences as a lifelong resident of San Francisco. Her most recent book of poetry, Pick a Garnet to Sleep In, was published in 2024, and her book of essays, Noodle, Rant, Tangent, was published in 2022. In her term as Poet Laureate, she hosted scores of free poetry and art workshops for all ages at neighborhood libraries and schools and worked closely with San Francisco Public Library and the San Francisco Arts Commission to launch major citywide initiatives to honor Native American Indigenous Peoples' heritage.

Lisa Rosenberg is the author of A Different Physics, winner of the 2024 American Legacy Book Award for Poetry. A former space program engineer trained as a physicist, her work has been recognized by a Djerassi Leonardo Residency, Wallace Stegner Fellowship and MOSAIC America Fellowship. She served as the second Poet Laureate of San Mateo County and is a frequent speaker on the confluence of arts and sciences. Her poems and multidisciplinary essays appear in venues such as Plume, The Common, Threepenny Review, Poetry and Terrain.org.

Caroline Goodwin is the author of five poetry collections, most recently Old Snow, White Sun (JackLeg Press, 2021) and Matanuska (Aquifer Press, 2022). Born and raised in Alaska, she moved to California in 1999 to attend Stanford as a Wallace Stegner Fellow in poetry. From 2014 until 2016 she served as the first Poet Laureate of San Mateo County.

E. K. Keith is a Latinx poet who calls San Francisco home, but her hometown is Houston where she learned to write in the sprawl. She performs her poems on the street corner and takes the mic at coffee shops, bars, and radio stations. Her work appears online and in magazines on all three coasts and places beyond, and Ordinary Villains is her first book of poetry.
