DESCRIPTION:The hunger strike refers to the Frisco Five.\n\nSan Francisco Arts 
 Commission award-winning poet Tony Robles focuses on the Frisco Five’s 
 hunger strike held in April and May 2016 in front of the Valencia Street 
 cop shop, protesting police killings.\n\nRobles also speaks of 
 incarceration with a unique eye within the lens that is Frisco. The 
 continuing displacement and neglect of elderly and low-income residents in 
 the face of property development build another topic of concern, emerging 
 from the poet's great love of San Francisco and all its inhabitants.\n\nKim 
 Shuck, the current Poet Laureate of the City, maintains that "Robles does 
 the work on the streets and on the pages" while he "speaks of the city as a 
 relative with a life-threatening illness: with love and anger." Tony’s 
 first book is Cool Don’t Live Here Anymore.\n\nJackie Ramos -- Poetess.
