Civil Defense Poetry Book Release Party

Reading: Ananda Esteva and James Tracy

Join Modern Times as we celebrate two recently published works from Civil Defense Poetry Press, a printing house dedicated to works of poetic resistance. Esteva, born in Chile and raised in San Francisco, is a skilled wordsmith, blending together the shout of spoken word and the haunting chant of traditional songs. Tracy, in his poetry, knows when to whisper. He lays claim to the legacy of poets of protest and builds a lyrical home for all of us.
