Buy Tickets/RSVP
FREE, $10-$15 suggested donation

Co-presented with LitCamp and Page Street

San Francisco is famously home to more dogs than kids, so let's celebrate our love for all things canine with a reading of fifteen super-short pieces about our furry, tail-wagging friends. There will be dog treats from local suppliers, plus complimentary Prosecco, wine, and fancy nonalcoholic drinks. Note: Much as we would love to see your canine companion, due to the (very) crowded nature of these events, we have to regretfully request they remain at home. The event will be emceed by LitCamp founder Janis Cooke Newman. Doors at 6:30pm.

Part of Words Around the World
Sponsored by Center for the Art of Translation
Co-presented with City Lights and New York Review of Books


First published in 1922, and rich in startling neologisms and other forms of verbal play, Trilce is a blazingly vivid revelation of what poetry can be, at once a love poem, a poem of erotic urgency and frustration, a poem of family life, of political fury, a lament for the dead, a work of intense privacy and an address to the world. In this new edition of Trilce from NYRB—the recipient of the prestigious Premio Valle Inclán for the best translation from Spanish into English—the translators Helen Dimos and William Rowe accompany each poem with a gloss. Their incisive commentary on these legendarily challenging poems opens them up to new understanding while inviting readers to find their own pathways to and through them.
