Poetry for the People began in 1975 and continues to create the beloved community at City College of San Francisco and beyond. This multi-generational panel will celebrate this legacy, will share poems and stories, and will make space for participants to create and share poems in community. With founder Leslie Simon, students of the late Lauren Muller, and current instructor Tehmina Khan, we will discuss the history of this revolutionary movement and our calling to carry it forward into our current struggles.
