DESCRIPTION:City Lights Poetry Reading - Honoring Carol Tarlen (1943-2004)\nWith Aggie 
 Falk, Jack Hirschman, David Joseph, Sarah Menefee, Leslie Simon, and Julia 
 Stein celebrating the release of Every Day Is an Act of Resistance: 
 Selected Poems by Carol Tarlen from Mongrel Empire Press. With MC Alice 
 Rogoff.\n Carol Tarlen was a long time North Beach resident, mother, wife, 
 activist, UCSF AFSCME medical school worker and brilliant poet. She got 
 arrested for Food Not Bombs as well as published widely in magazines and in 
 every major anthology of working class poetry, including American Working 
 Class Literature: An Anthology (Oxford University Press). She wrote poetry 
 as if Whitman and Mother Jones were alive and writing in North Beach. She 
 died in 2004, and Every Day Is an Act of Resistance is her first published 
 book.\n“Carol Tarlen’s poems bring the human and political together in 
 rich, heart-felt ways.... She had an uncompromising commitment to the truth 
 without sentimentality or condescension. Carol Tarlen was a Straight 
 Shooter. In Nellie Perkiss Speaks Her Mind, she writes ‘The news don’t 
 never tell the way it really is.’ Well, Carol Tarlen always told things 
 the way they really are. These poems deserve a wide and diverse 
 readership-read this book, and pass it on.” -Jim Daniels, Poet & 
 Professor, Carnegie Mellon University.\nSee
